RFQ - Engineering/Design Services - CTH NN Signalized Intersections

Waukesha County, Wisconsin is seeking engineering and design consulting services for the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) intersection improvement project along County Highway NN (CTH NN) in the Village of Mukwonago. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 2025037) requires a qualified engineering firm to develop preliminary and final plans, PS & E documents, and reports for two signalized intersections: CTH NN (W. Veterans Way) with CTH EE (School Road) and Fairwinds Boulevard. Key deliverables include traffic signal equipment replacement, installation of retroreflective backplates, energy-efficient LED streetlights and signals, fiber optic cable interconnection, video detection updates, and optimized signal timings. The procurement will follow a Quality Based Selection (QBS) process where cost is not a factor in rating responses. Proposals are due on August 26, 2025, by 2:00 p.m. CST/CDT, with potential interviews scheduled for September 16, 2025, and contract execution expected by December 26, 2025.

The project does not have a specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal assessment, but consultants must be registered to do business in Wisconsin and be on WisDOT's list of approved consultants. The contract will be a three-party agreement involving the consultant, Waukesha County, and the State of Wisconsin, with funding coming from the Carbon Reduction Program and county funds. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves approximately 3,000 feet of topographic survey, environmental impact analysis, and coordination with multiple agencies including the Village of Mukwonago, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Native American Tribes. The project timeline spans from January 2026 to Summer 2028, with construction anticipated to start in Summer 2028. Insurance requirements for the selected consultant include comprehensive coverage such as workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability with specific minimum coverage amounts.
