Professional Consulting and Inspection Services for DEEP

Solicitation 26PSX0040 is a request for proposals from the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services to provide professional consulting and inspection services for the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The scope of work encompasses a broad range of technical services, including engineering, architectural and planning, environmental and natural resource services, surveying, GIS, diving, and specialized inspection support. This is structured as a master agreement where the state may award contracts to multiple qualified firms to ensure geographic distribution and expertise, though such awards do not guarantee a minimum volume of work. Specific projects will be authorized through individual Statements of Work using an approved template, with contractor selection based on factors such as qualifications, availability, past performance, and specialized expertise. The contract utilizes a pricing structure based on fully burdened hourly rates for eight defined labor categories, ranging from executive management to specialized aquaculture engineers and diving specialists. Pricing must remain fixed for the first three years of the initial term. Proposers are required to submit detailed labor, equipment, and material price schedules, providing Fair Market Value documentation for equipment. Award evaluations focus on whether proposed personnel meet minimum education and experience thresholds. Administrative requirements include monthly itemized invoicing with payments made via ACH or P-Card, adherence to Connecticut state ethics laws, and strict compliance with information security policies and the Freedom of Information Act. All proposals must be submitted via CTSource by October 26, 2026.
