Construction Management Services-Repaving Program 2026-2028

Waukesha County Department of Public Works is seeking an Engineering Consulting firm to provide construction management services for a three-year Repaving Program covering 2026-2028. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP #2025040) focused on comprehensive road maintenance and infrastructure improvement across county highways. The annual construction program will include work zone traffic control, road excavation, base preparation, asphalt patching, milling, paving, cold-in-place recycling, public communication, pavement marking, crack sealing, and reshouldering. Proposing firms must be included on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Roster of Eligible Engineering Consultants and be registered to do business in Wisconsin. The evaluation will use a weighted scoring system, with 25% allocated to each of four categories: firm qualifications, project methodology, project engineer's approach to managing contractor issues, and cost. Key dates include a proposal submission deadline of October 9, 2025 at 2:00 pm CDT, potential interviews on October 28, 2025, and anticipated contract execution by December 3, 2025.

The contract will be funded through county funds and the State of Wisconsin Local Road Improvement Program, with projected construction contract values of $5.3 million in 2026, $5.2 million in 2027, and $7.6 million in 2028. The selected consultant will be compensated based on 1,200 hours of construction management services per season, with a monthly billing process and a 5% retainer withheld until final project acceptance. The annual work is scheduled from May 1 to September 15, covering approximately 16-18 miles of county highways each year, with treatments ranging from chip seals to mill and fill operations. The county reserves the right to cancel subsequent years of work by November 15th of 2026 or 2027, with no payment for cancelled work. The total contract amount will be determined based on the proposal, with provisions that compensation exceeding the total contract amount will not be allowed without a formal change order. No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements were explicitly stated in the procurement documents.
