Description: The Town of Milton is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from professional structural engineering firms (Consultant) for the design of a new Milton Department of Public Works Highway Facility Salt Shed. The consultant scope of services includes engineering and design of a concrete foundation and walls of the salt shed as well as field construction inspections. PROJECT BACKGROUND The Town of Milton's current Department of Public Works (DPW) Highway Facility is located on Ice House Road, adjacent to Arrowhead Lake Dam and the Lamoille River. This location provides a centralized site to access the town for general maintenance and snow plowing, however, there are several drawbacks associated with the location and the garage itself. The location is too close to the Lamoille River, and not an ideal location to store salt and liquid chloride for winter operations and maintenance. The building was constructed over 70 years ago, and it was never intended to be a DPW facility. The structure is too small to house all of Milton's heavy equipment, does not have a wash down bay, and has numerous other deficiencies. The new facility will be located on a 6.7-acre addressed as 160 Public Works Way, adjacent to the Town of Milton Municipal complex. See attached conceptual building plans. On Town Meeting Day 2022, Milton voters passed a $5.5M dollar bond to construct a new public works facility. Additionally, there are ARPA funds and other grants to assist the town in paying for this project. The project consists of the engineering and structural design of the salt shed, field inspections and fabric covered metal building provider. The town is currently working with Krebs & Lansing Consulting Engineers on geotechnical investigations and site improvements, including bringing water and wastewater infrastructure to the project site. Additionally, the Town will be contracting with a fabric covered metal building provider/installer, who will be responsible for working with the Structural Engineer consultant during the project. The team consists of the Town of Milton DPW and Town Manager, Design Engineer, Civil Engineer, and Structural Engineer will work together during all phases of the project to provide a project completed on time, with quality, and within budget. SCOPE OF WORK The Scope of Work for this project includes the following tasks, but is not limited to: 1. Structural Engineering of concrete foundation and walls and field construction inspections SCHEDULE The design AND construction of the project needs to be completed by August, 2024. Once a structural/engineer is under contract, a schedule will be developed to meet this project completion end date.
