About this opportunity

Portage County, Wisconsin is seeking engineering consultant services for the design of a bridge replacement project over Bear Creek on County Trunk Highway (CTH) II in the Town of Linwood. The project is part of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's 2024-2029 Local Bridge Program and requires comprehensive design services including administration, survey, agency and utility coordination, municipal coordination, public involvement, environmental documentation, right-of-way plat preparation (if needed), design reports, preliminary and final plans, and final PS&E documentation. The procurement will follow a Quality Based Selection methodology using a 1000-point evaluation system that assesses organization capabilities (150 points), staff qualifications (200 points), relevant project experience (250 points), proposer solutions and agency coordination (250 points), and ability to complete the project within timeframe with quality control/constructability reviews (150 points). Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on January 7, 2025, with the project timeline indicating State Fiscal Year 2025 design, an August 1, 2026 PS&E date, and a November 10, 2026 Let Date. The existing bridge structure currently has an NBI rating of 3 and a sufficiency rating of 48.4, with the proposed replacement being a 30-foot wide single span bridge structure.

The contract will be administered by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Local Program Manager Jason Schaeffer from the DOT's Wisconsin Rapids Office, with no cost to proposers for participation in the RFP process. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The project is federally funded and will be managed under the WisDOT Local Program by the WisDOT Northcentral Region. Consultants are explicitly prohibited from including any reference to estimated costs of services in their proposals. While real estate acquisition is not initially anticipated, any required acquisition would be 100% locally funded. The project involves designing a replacement bridge structure that must meet WisDOT Bureau of Structures review requirements, including potential timber bridge designs. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available documentation, though the comprehensive nature of the design services suggests a significant professional services contract for the selected engineering consultant.
