Transportation Asset Management Planning

The contract involves the development of comprehensive transportation asset management plans for the Towns of Shoreham and Ripton, Vermont, on behalf of the Addison County Regional Planning Commission. The scope includes inventorying and assessing transportation assets such as roads, major bridges, culverts, and equipment (Shoreham only), conducting risk analyses, and formulating maintenance and replacement strategies. The project aims to produce final reports, executive summaries, and all related data and materials, which will become public property of ACRPC. The total budget is capped at $35,000, with deliverables including digital and hard copies, presentations to municipal bodies, and transfer of all project data upon completion. The schedule anticipates proposal submission by October 15, 2025, with project completion by September 30, 2026. The contractual framework emphasizes compliance with broad federal and state requirements, including civil rights, ADA, DBE obligations, insurance, indemnification, workers’ compensation, audit, and lobbying restrictions, though it does not specify particular FAR clauses or clause numbers. All subcontractors must adhere to these provisions, and deliverables are subject to review and acceptance by municipal bodies and the ACRPC committee. The contract does not specify detailed packaging, marking, or shipping standards, nor does it include explicit references to security clearances, options, or specific contract types; it primarily functions as a fixed-price consulting agreement. Evaluation of proposals will be based on criteria such as budget appropriateness, understanding of the project, qualifications, clarity, and schedule adherence, with the highest-scoring proposal likely awarded the contract. The process allows for negotiations and rejection of proposals if deemed in the best interest of ACRPC.
