2022 Request for Qualifications for On-Call Engineering Services

The Town of South Windsor, Connecticut, has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for on-call engineering consulting services for its Public Works Department. The procurement seeks qualified individuals or firms to provide engineering services on an as-needed basis across three primary divisions: Pollution Control, Engineering, and Streets. Specific services will include engineering site assessments, consultation, and design plans, with the goal of supporting the town's infrastructure and public works operations. The RFQ, identified as solicitation #8314, was released on April 29, 2022, with a submission deadline of June 1, 2022, at 4:00 PM EDT. Interested parties can obtain the complete RFQ documentation from the Town of South Windsor's website at southwindsor-ct.gov/bids. The town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive any informalities or irregularities in the submission process. Potential respondents should direct any questions to Anthony Manfre at the Public Works Department, who can be reached at 860-644-2511, ext. 2247.

The RFQ is open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation does not specify a total estimated contract value, budget range, or funding source, indicating that the services will be procured on an as-needed basis with flexible engagement terms. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. While no specific evaluation criteria are detailed in the documents, it can be inferred that the town will assess respondents based on their qualifications, expertise in municipal engineering services, and ability to provide comprehensive support to the Public Works Department's various divisions. The town's approach suggests a desire for a flexible, on-call engineering services arrangement that can be tailored to the municipality's evolving infrastructure and public works needs.
