Sauk Creek Greenway and the Regent Street Greenway Crossing Survey

The City of Madison, Wisconsin has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for topographic and boundary survey services for two greenway projects located on the city's west side. The procurement seeks a survey contractor to provide comprehensive surveying services for the Sauk Creek Greenway (38.06 acres) and the Regent Street Greenway Crossing (3.37 acres). Survey requirements include collecting detailed data on greenway features, elevations, existing utilities, trees over three inches in diameter, topographic cross-sections at 25-foot intervals, property boundaries, easements, and right-of-way boundaries. The project mandates compliance with Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter A-E 7 standards and requires digital file deliverables in Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 format compatible with the City's Wisconsin Coordinate Reference Systems. Specific deliverables include survey files for Regent Street Greenway Crossing due January 15, 2022, Sauk Creek survey files due March 15, 2022, a Plat of Survey due April 15, 2022, and pre-construction boundary staking by May 15, 2022. The proposal due date is November 4, 2021, with contractor selection expected by November 5, 2021, and the project contact is Jojo O'Brien from the Engineering Division.

The RFB includes four line items with lump sum pricing: topographic survey of Sauk Creek Greenway, topographic survey of Regent Street Greenway Crossing, boundary survey in Sauk Creek Greenway, and pre-construction boundary staking. A Registered Land Surveyor must oversee all survey work, and contractors must submit unit prices and total bid amounts for each item. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will select the proposal that best combines necessary qualifications with value for public fund expenditure, rather than automatically awarding to the lowest bidder. Monthly invoicing is permitted upon satisfactory completion of services, with all cost records subject to City inspection. The City maintains the right to withhold payment until all deliverables are submitted in compliance with specifications. While the RFB does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and accurate surveying services. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, leaving potential bidders to prepare proposals based on the detailed scope of work outlined in the RFB.
