Engineering Services for Bridge Replacement

The Town of Randolph, Vermont, is soliciting engineering services for the replacement of bridge C3048 on North Randolph Road, which was destroyed during the July 2023 storm. The project involves conducting a hydraulic study to determine the optimal structure size and design, developing conceptual design plans and engineer's estimates, and managing the procurement of necessary state and federal permits. The selected provider will also be responsible for identifying right-of-way constraints, securing temporary construction easements, and establishing a comprehensive project schedule. The project is funded through FEMA procurement and reimbursement processes and must adhere to Vermont Agency of Transportation procedures. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Interim Town Manager Tom Yennerell by 12:00 p.m. on August 13, 2026. Submissions must include a one-page cover sheet, a detailed budget covering engineering, permitting, materials, and labor, and a proposed project schedule. The Town will evaluate bids based on price, quality, approach, and experience, utilizing a trade-off methodology to select the most advantageous proposal rather than the lowest price alone. The project is expected to be completed by April 15, 2027, with invoices processed within 30 days of submission to the Town's Finance Department.
