2025-23 Design Services - Reef Rd Culvert - Bronson Bridge Culvert Replacements

The Town of Fairfield, located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for design services related to the replacement of two critical culverts: the Reef Road culvert and the Bronson Bridge culvert. This procurement (Solicitation #2025-23) seeks a qualified Consultant to provide comprehensive design services for both culvert replacement projects, with the town's primary intention of awarding both projects to a single consultant. The town reserves the right to split the award among multiple consultants if deemed in the best interest of the municipality. The solicitation is open from September 26, 2024, at 4:15 PM EDT, with proposals due on October 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM EDT. A vendor Q&A period is established from September 26, 2024, at 4:30 PM EDT through October 3, 2024, at 4:30 PM EDT, during which potential bidders can submit questions to the town's contact, Pru O'Brien. Interested consultants must demonstrate expertise in culvert replacement design and provide detailed technical and professional qualifications for consideration.

The RFP appears to be an open solicitation with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or estimated total contract value is disclosed. The procurement uses Free On Board Destination delivery terms and allows for vendor-specified payment terms. The solicitation has been designated as having no line items, which suggests flexibility in proposal structure. Multiple iterations of the RFP document have been released, including the main solicitation and several addenda, indicating potential refinements to the original requirements. Interested consultants will need to carefully review all documentation, including Addendum 1, Addendum 2, and the revised Addendum 2, to fully understand the project scope and submission requirements. Consultants should be prepared to provide comprehensive design services that meet the town's specific infrastructure replacement needs for these two critical culvert projects.
