On-Call Engineering for Various Gas Projects

The City of Norwich, located in New London County, Connecticut, has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Engineering Services for Various Gas Projects. The procurement seeks to prequalify engineering and consulting firms across ten distinct service categories, including Natural Gas System Modeling, Project Planning and Permitting, Pipeline Design (both steel and plastic), LNG Plant Design and Operations, Pipeline Welding Procedures and Inspection, Cathodic Protection Consultation, District Regulator/Gate Station Design, Training and Qualification, and Regulatory Compliance. The solicitation opens on February 25, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST, with responses due by March 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. Interested firms must demonstrate comprehensive expertise in the specified gas infrastructure and engineering domains, with the ability to provide technical consultation, design services, and regulatory compliance support. The RFQ indicates that vendors will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, experience, and qualifications within these specialized service categories.

While the RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, it appears to be an open solicitation accessible to qualified engineering and consulting firms. The document does not provide information about incumbent vendors, specific budget ranges, or award values for the on-call engineering services. Potential respondents should carefully review the full RFQ package, which includes detailed requirements for each service category. The point of contact for questions is Robert Castronova from the City of Norwich, who can provide additional clarification about the procurement process. Vendors interested in participating should prepare comprehensive submissions that demonstrate their technical expertise, professional qualifications, and ability to support various gas infrastructure engineering needs across the specified service categories.
