Police Complex Parking Garage Engineering Services

The City of Bristol, Connecticut, is seeking qualified engineering teams to provide comprehensive services for the Police Complex parking garage, encompassing investigation, structural rehabilitation, waterproofing design, bidding assistance, and construction services. The scope of work includes concrete repairs to spiral ramps and garage levels, waterproofing, MEP repairs for floor drains and electrical systems, and architectural updates such as steel painting and ADA-compliant pavement markings. The selected firm must provide design documents at 30, 60, 90, and final bid stages, along with independent cost estimates and a final maintenance plan. This is a two-stage procurement process. Stage I is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) where firms are evaluated on their capability, relevant experience with occupied parking structures, and the qualifications of key personnel, including a Connecticut-licensed structural engineer of record. Fees and costs are not considered during this initial phase. Firms determined to be qualified will proceed to Stage II, a Request for Proposals (RFP), which will require a project-specific approach, a detailed investigation and risk plan, a task matrix, and a project schedule. Administrative requirements include a submission deadline of January 5, 2027, via the City's bidding portal. Standard payment terms are Net 30 Days, and the City prohibits payments upon contract execution. Firms must provide a Non-Collusion Certification and adhere to Equal Employment Opportunity Act requirements, which include an Affirmative Action Plan for firms with 15 or more employees or a written equal opportunity policy for smaller firms. The engineer is also responsible for quality-control reviews, constructability and risk assessments at the 90 percent design stage, and periodic field oversight during critical construction operations.
