WMC_2025_Connectivity_-_Sidewalk_Plans.pdf

This document is a sidewalk plans file for the Town of Berlin, Connecticut, related to a civil engineering design and construction administration services contract. The project, known as the Berlin Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Project (State Project No. 007-267), involves sidewalk installation and connectivity improvements in the vicinity of Willard and Hubbard Elementary Schools. The scope of work encompasses four street segments: Main Street in East Berlin (1,201 linear feet), Berlin Street in East Berlin (305 linear feet), Alling Street (1,738 linear feet), and Heather Lane in Kensington (334 linear feet), for a total of approximately 3,578 linear feet of sidewalk improvements. The consulting engineering firm selected will be responsible for preparing contract plans and documents, and may also be required to provide survey services, assist in permitting, prepare environmental documents, and perform construction inspection services throughout the project.

The projected construction cost for this project is estimated at $930,000 and is funded through the Federal Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. The design fee will be negotiated on a lump sum basis. The Town of Berlin will evaluate and select the consulting engineering firm based on design and technical competence, capacity and capability to perform the work within the allotted timeframe, past record of performance, and knowledge of Federal, State, and Municipal procedures, with these criteria weighted in descending order of importance. Selected firms should be of adequate size and sufficiently staffed to manage the full scope of deliverables, which includes engineering design, environmental compliance, permitting coordination, and construction administration services.
