Engineering Design Services for Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation of Bridges

The Town of Canton, Connecticut, located in Hartford County, is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Engineering Design Services focused on bridge replacement and rehabilitation. The specific project involves comprehensive engineering design for two bridges: Bridge No. 023001 on Washburn Road over Jim Brook and Bridge No. 023006 on Old Canton Road over Rattlesnake Brook. The procurement seeks qualified engineering firms to provide total replacement or rehabilitation design services for these critical infrastructure assets. The solicitation requires sealed proposals to be submitted by 2:00 PM EDT on Thursday, September 30, 2021, with the overall solicitation period running from September 1, 2021, to October 1, 2021. Interested vendors can access additional details and procurement documents on the Town of Canton's website (www.townofcantonct.org) under the Bids & RFP section, with Glenn Cusano (gcusano@townofcantonct.org) serving as the point of contact for any questions. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be specified by the vendor.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified engineering firms with expertise in bridge design and infrastructure rehabilitation. While the documents do not disclose a specific estimated contract value or budget range, the complexity of designing total replacement or rehabilitation for two bridges suggests a substantial engineering services contract. The RFP has been designated as having no line items and includes no pre-defined additional documents or specific evaluation criteria beyond the basic requirement for comprehensive engineering design services for these two bridge projects in the Town of Canton.
