Master Sewer Plan Engineering Services

The Town of Glastonbury, Connecticut is soliciting qualifications from engineering firms to update its Sanitary Sewer Master Sewer Plan and conduct an Inflow and Infiltration Study on sewer pipes the Town has identified, with responses due December 3, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. through the Bonfire Hub portal. Minority and women-owned business enterprises are encouraged to respond.

Minimum respondent requirements are a Professional Engineer licensed in Connecticut assigned to the project and experience with similar master sewer plan studies within the past five years. Scope includes investigating grant funding, reviewing existing state and Town sewerage files, comprehensively updating the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, updating the Sanitary Sewer Capacity Model, recommending maintenance, repair, and Capital Improvement Projects, documenting findings in an updated Master Sewer Plan document, performing the I&I study, and updating GIS maps as needed. Submissions require a letter of transmittal, firm background, staff qualifications, relevant engineering experience, completed similar projects from the past five years with owner references, project approach, proposed schedule, and a statement of why the firm is best qualified. A Zoom meeting on the due date will publicly read only respondent names.

The RFQ sets no contract price. Fees will be negotiated after interviews based on scope and project funding, and the RFQ identifies no specific funding source. Minimum insurance limits are $1 million per occurrence across Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Errors and Omissions Liability, and Umbrella coverage. The selected consultant must indemnify the Town and maintain professional liability coverage for seven years after project conclusion.

The Town intends to shortlist respondents the week of December 14, 2026, interview top candidates the week of January 4, 2027, and execute a contract by February 17, 2027. The evaluation and study are to be completed by March 1, 2028. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all submissions and waive informalities.
