Scope of Contract

The intent is to procure professional engineering services by contract on an as needed basis. These services would supplement these types of services that are performed in house. The types of engineering services contemplated by this contract are civil/structural type engineering similar to but not limited to the following:
1). Design or review of designs for roads, dams, bridges (road and trail), major drainage structures, site layout / design and related civil / structural engineering services.
2). The evaluation of and solution to slide areas and other geotechnical problems, related to structural footings and foundation walls.
3). Analysis of hydraulics for bridges and dams including geomorphology and stream simulation.
4). Facilities assessment, design and renovation.
5). The field survey of sites for these designs,
6). Environmental services related to these designs,
7). Inspection services.

The majority of the projects will be located on the White Mountain National Forest in NH and ME, and the Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forest in VT and NY. Work may also be requested and performed from other National Forest units not located in this area. In order to use local sources the government may recommend sub-consultants located in close proximity to the actual areas of work.

Since the majority of the projects are in VT, NH, NY and ME, there is a need for the firm to be physically located within a 120 mile radius of Mendon, VT or Gorham, NH due to the necessity of same day travel to/from the project sites (some remote locations on forest). The 120 mile radius applies to the primary contractor and could include the subcontract team (depending on the tasks to be performed by the subcontractor).

Solicitation is anticipated to be posted around 7 December 2023.
