On-Call Drainage Engineering & Design Services

The Town of New Milford, Connecticut is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Drainage Engineering & Design Services within Litchfield County. The solicitation seeks professional engineering firms licensed in the State of Connecticut to provide comprehensive engineering and design services for municipal drainage projects. Qualified firms must submit their proposals electronically through the Town's OpenGov Procurement Portal by May 16, 2024, at 3:30 PM EDT. A vendor question and answer period will run from April 26, 2024, at 8:30 AM EDT until May 6, 2024, at 8:00 AM EDT, during which potential respondents can seek clarification about the RFQ. The Town will open proposals in the E. Paul Martin Room following the submission deadline, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the RFQ implies that firms will be assessed based on their professional qualifications, licensing status, and ability to provide drainage engineering and design services.

The procurement 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 current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no disclosed details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation notably lacks information about potential award values, budget ranges, or contract duration. Interestingly, the RFQ does not specify any estimated total contract value, line items, or pricing terms, suggesting a flexible, on-call service arrangement where engineering services will be requested as needed by the Town of New Milford. All bid packages, inquiries, addenda, and proposal submissions must be handled exclusively through the Town's procurement portal at www.newmilford.org/purchasing, with the primary contact being Tanya Pond, reachable at purchasing@newmilford.org or 860-457-4189.
