Sidewalk_Carbo_Reduction_Grant_Scope.xlsx

This is a scope of work document for the Town of Berlin, Connecticut's Safe Routes to School Carbon Reduction Grant sidewalk project, funded by the Federal Carbon Reduction Program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. The project encompasses sidewalk installation across six streets in the vicinity of Willard and Hubbard Elementary Schools to enhance pedestrian connectivity and safety. The specific streets and linear footage include Worthington Ridge (1,170 LF), Peter Parley Row (730 LF), Lower Lane (4,125 LF), Toll Gate Road (430 LF), Main Street, East Berlin (1,040 LF), and Meadow Lane (1,545 LF), totaling 9,040 linear feet of sidewalk improvements. The Town is seeking a Consulting Engineering firm to prepare contract plans and documents, with the selected firm potentially required to provide survey services, permitting assistance, environmental documentation, and construction inspection. The projected construction cost is estimated at $3,050,000, and design firms will be selected based on design and technical competence, capacity and capability to perform within the allotted timeframe, past performance record, and knowledge of Federal, State, and Municipal procedures, with the design fee to be negotiated on a lump sum basis.

Respondent firms should be adequately sized and sufficiently staffed to execute the scope of work. The project is funded through the Federal Carbon Reduction Program, eliminating the need for local cost-share. No explicit set-asides, incumbent vendors, response deadlines, or contract term information is specified in the scope document itself. The project advances the Town's objectives to improve pedestrian safety and sidewalk connectivity for school-age residents and families utilizing the nearby elementary schools.
