Engineering/Landscape Design and Planning Services - Riverfront Revialization

The Town of New Milford is seeking qualified professional firms licensed in Connecticut to provide comprehensive Engineering, Landscape, and Recreational Planning Services for a Riverfront Revitalization project. The procurement is conducted through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process with Solicitation #8820, targeting firms capable of delivering professional design and planning services for the town's riverfront area. Interested firms must obtain proposal packages exclusively through the Town's e-Procurement Portal at www.newmilford.org/purchasing and submit sealed proposals electronically by July 21, 2022, at 3:30 PM EDT. An optional pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for June 8, 2022, at 11:00 AM at Young's Field Park Pavilion, with a rain date of June 15th. A vendor question and answer period will run from May 20, 2022, through June 30, 2022, allowing potential bidders to seek clarification on the project requirements. The RFP specifies Free On Board Destination delivery terms and requires vendors to specify their own payment terms. Proposals will be publicly opened in the E. Paul Martin Room following the submission deadline.

The solicitation appears to be an open competition with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types beyond the requirement of being licensed in Connecticut. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details are provided in the documentation. The RFP does not specify an estimated total contract value, budget range, or funding sources, which suggests potential flexibility in project scope and budget. The Town has designated this as an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action procurement, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documents, the focus appears to be on firms' qualifications, expertise in engineering, landscape design, and recreational planning, particularly as they relate to riverfront revitalization projects. The procurement contact is Valerie Douglass, who can be reached at 860-457-4189 or purchasing@newmilford.org for any additional inquiries. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all submissions, providing additional flexibility in the selection process.
