IMPROVEMENTS TO COPPERMILL RD CULVERT ALONG GOFF BROOK

The Town of Wethersfield is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide engineering services for the replacement of the Coppermill Road culvert along Goff Brook, identified as Bridge No. 159012. The primary objective is to develop preliminary engineering documents and a 30 percent design to support the Town's application for construction funding through the State Local Bridge Program. The scope of work encompasses project management, surveying by a Connecticut Licensed Land Surveyor, culvert inspection, hydrologic, hydraulic, and scour analysis, and an evaluation of alternatives including full replacement or rehabilitation methods such as slip-lining or cured-in-place pipelining. Key deliverables include a preliminary engineering report, a preliminary plan set, a construction cost estimate, a permit identification memorandum, and a project risk register, all provided in PDF and editable native formats. Proposals are due by 12:00 p.m. on November 6, 2026, and must be submitted as three color hard copies and one digital PDF to the Town of Wethersfield Finance Department. Award selection is based on consultant qualifications, with a focus on professional expertise, experience with Connecticut municipalities, and a demonstrated capacity to meet the scope of services. Required submission materials include a not-to-exceed fee proposal, resumes of key personnel, five professional references, and evidence of at least three similar projects completed within the last five years. Additionally, firms must provide a Certificate of Insurance and comply with the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act by submitting an Equal Opportunity Policy Statement and a detailed fair employment practices questionnaire.
