About this opportunity

The City of New London is soliciting proposals from qualified professional design firms to provide landscape architectural, civil engineering, MEP, stormwater, and green infrastructure design services for the Atlantic Street Park, a new public linear park in downtown New London, with proposals due July 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on June 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. on-site. Minority and Women's Business Enterprises are encouraged to apply; the contract is subject to Connecticut state spending allocation goals and contract compliance requirements including good faith efforts to employ MBE subcontractors on future construction phases.

The scope spans eight phases from site survey and investigations through construction administration. The planning phase budget is $250,000, funded by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development Community Investment Fund 2030 planning grant. This budget covers all services through 60% Design Development and associated site investigations (Phases 1.0 through 3.0), plus grant positioning deliverables including visualization packages and technical documentation. Future construction costs are anticipated to exceed $1,000,000, which will trigger full DECD construction-grant compliance requirements including prevailing wage, CHRO good-faith-effort and set-asides, DAS prequalification, and bonding. The design professional must hold proper professional credentials. Professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 per claim / $2,000,000 aggregate, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, and statutory workers' compensation are required.

Proposals are evaluated on transmittal letter (5 points), firm qualifications and experience (40 points), project understanding and approach (40 points), and project schedule (15 points). Award will be made to the lowest responsible, qualified proposer. Fee proposals will be requested only from short-listed firms after qualifications are evaluated. Written questions are due July 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST, with responses issued by July 8. Selection and contract execution are anticipated for August 10 and August 19, 2026, respectively. All deliverables become the City's property upon final payment.
