RFP-Engineering Design Services.pdf

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Town of Brookline, Vermont, for engineering design services related to a culvert replacement project on Grassy Brook Road (TH-10). The project involves the replacement of an existing 24-foot-long, 74"x 120" corrugated metal pipe culvert over Grassy Brook with a new structure designed in accordance with recommendations from a provided Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) study and ANR specifications. The selected engineering firm will be responsible for conducting site visits and field assessments, reviewing the H&H study, designing replacement culverts with associated headwalls and road base restoration, designing a temporary bypass to maintain road access during construction, preparing construction-ready plans and specifications, providing cost estimates, and identifying applicable codes, standards, and permitting requirements. Deliverables include site assessment reports, design drawings and specifications, construction cost estimates, a summary of permitting and regulatory requirements, and bid documents for structure construction, with all deliverables required to be completed to enable construction in 2027.

Proposal submissions must include a cover letter and firm profile, documentation of relevant experience with culvert design and VTrans-funded projects, resumes of key personnel, a composite schedule detailing all prime and subconsultant work with specific activities, tasks, personnel involvement, and associated hours, and a cost proposal with anticipated costs. The project is funded through a VTrans Structure Grant, and interested firms should provide detailed pricing information as part of their cost proposals. While specific response deadlines, award dates, and contract term details are not fully outlined in the available documentation, the project timeline indicates construction is targeted for 2027.
