Engineering Services Consultant For Support Services On An As Needed Basis

The City of Trenton is soliciting proposals under RFP2024-03 for professional architectural and engineering consulting services to support the Department of Public Works Division of Transportation and Engineering on an as-needed basis. The scope of work encompasses civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and transportation engineering, including planning, design, site visits, inspections, and construction oversight for city-owned infrastructure. The contract is cost-reimbursable with an initial one-year term and allows for extensions of up to two years. All work must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and New Jersey state laws, including the Prevailing Wage Act and requirements for U.S.-manufactured materials. Proposals are evaluated based on a weighted system prioritizing the qualifications and experience of assigned personnel at 40 percent, followed by previous road design experience at 20 percent, cost at 20 percent, general approach at 10 percent, and other supporting information at 10 percent. Award decisions are generally directed toward the lowest responsible respondent, though the weighting suggests a potential trade-off between technical merit and price. Contractors must maintain general liability insurance of at least 1 million dollars per occurrence and provide mandatory certifications regarding affirmative action, non-debarment, and the prohibition of investment activities in Iran. All deliverables are subject to inspection and acceptance by the City of Trenton.
