Design Services related to Rockville Center Connectivity and Complete Streets/

The Town of Vernon, Connecticut is seeking statements of qualifications from consultant firms for Design Services related to the Rockville Center Connectivity and Complete Streets project through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The selected firm must have expertise in the Connecticut Department of Transportation's Community Connectivity and Complete Streets Programs, with specific capabilities in roadway improvements, park and trail enhancements, grant administration, plan and specification development, construction administration, and inspection services. Prospective consultants must demonstrate comprehensive experience in managing complex infrastructure design projects involving multiple grant sources. The RFQ was posted on October 13, 2022, with a submission deadline of November 9, 2022 at 10:00 AM EST. Vendors are required to submit questions by October 26, 2022 at 3:30 PM, with the Town promising to post answers by November 2, 2022 on both the Town's website and the Connecticut State Department of Administrative Services portal. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears to prioritize technical qualifications, experience with similar grant-funded infrastructure projects, and demonstrated understanding of Connecticut transportation program requirements.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified consulting firms. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The project is funded through two separate grant sources with similar but distinct requirements, though the specific funding amounts are not disclosed. No estimated total contract value is provided in the solicitation documents. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms. Interested consultants will need to carefully review the full RFQ documentation, which includes multiple versions of the solicitation document and a legal notice, both available on the Town's website and the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services portal. The project appears to represent a significant opportunity for consulting firms with expertise in municipal infrastructure design and grant-funded transportation improvement projects.
