2022-196 Engineering Design Services replacement of (2) two boilers - BURR Elem

The Town of Fairfield, Connecticut, on behalf of Fairfield Public Schools, is seeking proposals from licensed engineers to provide engineering design services for the replacement of two boilers at Burr Elementary School, located at 1960 Burr Street. The existing boilers, originally installed in 2004, have exhibited signs of failure, including water leakage into the gymnasium storage area below the boiler room, necessitating a comprehensive design for replacement. The primary objective is to develop a complete design solution that enables the replacement of the current second-floor boilers before the mandatory heating season begins on October 15, 2022. Prospective vendors must be licensed engineers capable of delivering a comprehensive design that addresses the technical requirements of replacing the existing infrastructure. The solicitation (Solicitation #8690) was released on May 13, 2022, with a vendor question and answer period running from May 13 to May 20, 2022, and proposal submissions due by May 25, 2022, at 2:00 PM EDT. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the Town appears to prioritize firms that can meet the tight timeline and technical requirements of the project.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure integration requirements. The Request for Proposal (RFP) does not provide an estimated total value for the project, nor does it outline a specific budget range for the engineering design services. The procurement is open to all qualified licensed engineering firms capable of completing the design services within the specified timeframe. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. The contact for any questions regarding the solicitation is Pru O'Brien from the Town of Fairfield Purchasing Department, who can be reached at 203-256-3060 or pobrien@fairfieldct.org.
