Request For Qualifications

The Village of Hamilton is seeking professional services to support a multi-modal transportation enhancement project aimed at improving connectivity within the community. The project focuses on linking two existing trails, the Chenango Canal Towpath Trail and the O&W Railroad Trail, to key destinations including the Village center, Colgate University, and the Madison Marketplaces shopping area. The goal is to create safe, accessible routes for residents, students, and visitors who prefer non-automobile transportation options, incorporating various strategies such as on-street bicycle lanes and filling connectivity gaps. The scope of work includes environmental review, permitting, right-of-way and easement acquisitions, preliminary and final design, public bidding, construction administration, inspection, and grant management aligned with TAP grant requirements. The contract is open to all New York State counties and is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The project size is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, with a response deadline of September 25, 2025. The selected firm will be responsible for guiding the project through design, bidding, construction oversight, and grant administration phases. Interested entities are directed to contact Nancy Mitchell, the Director of Operations, for further details, and can access additional information through the provided online link. The contract term is to be determined, and no prior awards of similar contracts have been recorded for the submitting business entities within the past five years.
