Old Boardman Bridge Inspection Engineer, Restoration & Rehabilitation Consultan

The Town of New Milford, located in Litchfield County, Connecticut, is seeking qualified professional bridge engineering firms licensed in the state to provide comprehensive Bridge Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Engineering, and Consultation Services for the Old Boardman Bridge project. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) that requires respondents to be licensed bridge engineers, restoration specialists, and rehabilitation consultants with demonstrated expertise in bridge infrastructure projects. The primary objective is to obtain professional services for inspecting, assessing, and developing rehabilitation strategies for the Old Boardman Bridge. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for February 14, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the bridge site, and interested firms must obtain the proposal package through the Town's e-Procurement Portal at www.newmilford.org/purchasing. The vendor question and answer period runs from February 1, 2024, at 11:30 AM EST until February 19, 2024, at 8:00 AM EST, with sealed proposals due no later than 3:30 PM EST on February 29, 2024. Proposals will be opened in the E. Paul Martin Room by the Purchasing Authority, with the Town reserving the right to reject any and all submissions.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation documents consistently do not provide an estimated total contract value or budget range, leaving pricing and compensation to be determined through the proposal process. The RFP specifies "Free On Board Destination" delivery terms and allows vendors to specify their own payment terms. The Town of New Milford is designated as an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, which suggests a commitment to fair and inclusive procurement practices. Interested firms should carefully review all documents on the e-Procurement Portal and be prepared to submit a comprehensive proposal that demonstrates their technical capability, experience, and approach to bridge rehabilitation and engineering consulting services.
