Engineering Services for TEXAS HILL ROAD, Bridge #35

The Town of Huntington is seeking proposals from qualified engineering firms to design a new bridge on Texas Hill Road, designated as Bridge #35, following damage caused by the July 2024 storm. The project aims to replace or rehabilitate the existing structure, which has been significantly compromised and washed out, although emergency repairs have temporarily restored access. The new construction is partially funded by federal and state agencies, including FEMA and the Vermont Department of Public Safety, emphasizing the importance of resilience and compliance with hydraulic standards. An initial hydraulic study indicates that the current bridge does not meet the State's stream equilibrium standards for bankfull width, underscoring the need for a design that addresses these environmental and safety considerations. The solicitation, posted on December 11, 2024, with a response deadline of January 2, 2025, is open to qualified firms under NAICS code 541330, which covers engineering services. The project budget ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000. Interested parties are directed to contact Adam Argo via email or phone to obtain bid documents and further project details. The contract emphasizes comprehensive engineering services to ensure the new bridge meets safety, hydraulic, and environmental standards while supporting the town’s infrastructure resilience efforts.
