The scope encompasses preliminary engineering, surveying, potholing, utility notifications, right-of-way entries, preparation of plans and specifications, waiver documentation to the Division of Drinking Water (DDW), bidding support, and construction support services. The project involves removal and replacement of asphalt paving; installation of approximately 2,300 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe with wedge gate valves, fire hydrants, and water services; and roadway reconstruction including pavement rehabilitation, utility adjustments, sidewalk work, curb and gutter, ADA upgrades, and signing and striping along Burke Street from Passons Boulevard to Farmland Avenue.

Compensation is based on actual hours worked at approved hourly rates per the submitted Schedule of Hourly Rates, with a Not-to-Exceed amount established in the Professional Services Agreement and monthly payment. The PSA has a two-year term with potential extension. Design services commence immediately upon Notice to Proceed, with construction bid packages to be delivered within 120 working days, targeting Spring 2027 for construction award.

The City evaluates proposals on overall responsiveness and understanding (10 points), proposer capabilities and relevant experience (20 points), consultant qualifications (15 points), key personnel education and experience (15 points), demonstrated track record of team collaboration (10 points), past performance and references (15 points), and cost (15 points). The City reserves the right to select based on demonstrated competence rather than lowest price alone.

Consultants must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $2 million per occurrence with $5 million umbrella coverage, workers' compensation at statutory limits, automobile liability of $1 million, and professional liability of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate. Questions are due August 20, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Proposals must not exceed 30 pages and be submitted in four hard copies plus one searchable PDF thumb drive.
