The Town of Hardwick is soliciting proposals to engage a qualified Owner’s Representative or Construction Manager to oversee the Utility Elevation Assistance Program, a project funded by the State of Vermont’s Community Resilience and Disaster Mitigation Fund. The initiative aims to elevate or relocate critical utilities on approximately eleven residential properties to protect them from flood damage by raising them above the Base Flood Elevation. The selected consultant will act as the Town’s direct representative throughout the construction phase, ensuring all work adheres to project specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements while coordinating between contractors, property owners, and town officials to maintain efficiency and compliance. Proposals must be submitted by August 10, 2026, and the solicitation is issued under number 73961 by the Vermont Department of Economic Development. The project is led by the Town of Hardwick, with primary coordination handled by the Zoning Administrator, reachable via email and phone provided in the solicitation. Performance will occur within the Town of Hardwick, Vermont, and the consultant must possess the expertise to manage multiple residential utility elevation projects simultaneously. The role demands strong project oversight, communication skills, and familiarity with flood mitigation practices and state-funded program guidelines.
