Civil/Coastal Engineering Design

The contract calls for the design of ADA-compliant docks and gangways built to withstand a 20-year service life while meeting all applicable regulatory standards for permitting and accessibility. The work falls under civil and coastal engineering and requires adherence to federal and state guidelines to ensure safe, inclusive access to waterfront facilities. The project demands technical expertise in coastal structures, material durability under environmental stress, and full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act specifications for slope, width, handrails, and surface conditions. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Vermont Department of Economic Development with a response deadline of September 19, 2026. The NAICS code 541330 confirms the focus on architectural and engineering services, specifically for civil and coastal infrastructure. Although location details are unspecified, performance is expected within Vermont’s coastal or shoreline areas under state jurisdiction. Bidders must demonstrate proven experience in designing long-lasting, regulatory-compliant marine access structures and be prepared to provide documentation supporting material longevity, environmental resilience, and ADA compliance for permitting approvals.
