Town of Jasper Sanitary Sewer System Comprehensive Study

The Town of Jasper is requesting qualifications for licensed professional engineering services to conduct a sanitary sewer system comprehensive study, with qualification packages due July 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Evaluation criteria are firm understanding of issues and similar project experience (40 percent), technical capability and staff availability including financial stability (40 percent), and NYS EFC WIIA experience (20 percent). A short list of qualified firms may be interviewed before final selection.

Engineering firms must provide proof of Workers Compensation insurance, General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate with the Town as additional insured, Auto Liability Insurance of $1 million per occurrence combined single limits, and Professional Liability insurance of not less than $2 million per loss. All activities except closeout and final audit must be completed by the due date specified in the executed grant agreement. Respondents bear preparation costs, and the Town retains the right to reject all submissions and cancel the solicitation prior to contract execution.
