Bridge and Abutment Repair

The Jericho Underhill Park District (JUPD) is seeking competitive bids for a critical infrastructure repair project involving bridge and abutment restoration in Johnson Village, located in Chittenden County, Vermont. The procurement opportunity specifically encompasses two distinct scopes of work: A) Repair to the park's bridge under-structure and B) Comprehensive repair of the bridge's concrete abutment. Qualified contractors are invited to submit sealed bids, which must be received by the JUPD at P.O. Box 164, Underhill, VT 05489 no later than 4:30 pm on May 21, 2025. The bid submission deadline will be followed by an official opening during the scheduled board meeting that same evening. While the detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) document was referenced, it was not accessible in the provided documentation, which limits the ability to confirm specific technical requirements, evaluation criteria, or precise scope details. Potential bidders are advised to carefully review the complete JUPD_Bridge_and_Abutment_Repair_RFP_04_08_25.pdf document for comprehensive project specifications.

Although the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, typical government infrastructure projects often have provisions for small businesses, local enterprises, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The procurement is geographically limited to the Johnson Village area within Chittenden County, which might inherently favor local contractors familiar with the regional infrastructure. No incumbent vendor information or current contract details were provided in the available materials. Similarly, no specific budget range or estimated project value was disclosed in the documentation. Interested contractors should anticipate potential pre-qualification requirements given the specialized nature of bridge and abutment repair work, which typically demands demonstrated expertise in civil engineering, structural restoration, and municipal infrastructure maintenance. Potential bidders would be well-advised to prepare comprehensive technical proposals that showcase their qualifications, previous similar project experience, and technical capabilities in bridge rehabilitation and concrete structural repair.
