RFQ #21-09 Engineering Services for Garvan Point Improvements

The Town of Madison, Connecticut has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #21-09) seeking coastal engineering services for the Garvan Point Improvements project located in New Haven County. The procurement aims to secure a qualified engineering firm to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study and potentially provide future design and regulatory permitting services focused on stabilizing and protecting the shoreline exposure of Garvan Point. Specific deliverables will include a detailed coastal engineering assessment that evaluates shoreline conditions, potential stabilization strategies, and regulatory compliance requirements. The solicitation requires vendors to submit a Statement of Qualifications demonstrating expertise in coastal engineering, shoreline protection, and environmental permitting. The RFQ was released on May 17, 2022, with responses due by June 9, 2022, at 2:00 PM EDT. Interested firms must submit their qualifications to John J. Iennaco, Director of Public Works & Town Engineer, located at 8 Campus Drive, Madison, CT 06443. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the selection will likely be based on the firm's technical expertise, previous similar project experience, and demonstrated capability to perform the required coastal engineering services.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The RFQ also does not provide an estimated contract value, budget range, or funding source details. The opportunity appears to be open to all qualified coastal engineering firms capable of performing the required feasibility study and potential future design work. No information is provided about existing infrastructure or technology that might require integration. The solicitation suggests this is an initial qualifications-based selection process, with potential future design and permitting work to be awarded separately based on the selected firm's initial Statement of Qualifications. The lack of specific financial details, contract terms, and project scope specifics indicates this is a preliminary stage in the Town of Madison's coastal protection planning process for the Garvan Point area.
