The Town of Boston is issuing this Request for Qualifications for the qualifications-based procurement of engineering firms to assist with engineering tasks associated with various water system improvement projects. Utilizing a qualifications-based process, the Town will select up to a total of three consulting engineering firms licensed in the State of New York to design, bid, administer and close-out projects as the need arises. The Town has applied for funding through the NYSEFC for a water main replacement project, including approximately 20,300 linear feet of water main in various locations. These locations have been identified by both the Town and ECWA as priorities to be replaced based on their break history and the age of the existing water mains. The system will continue to operate identically to its existing process but would greatly improve the reliability and ease of operation of the system. The project referenced in this RFQ is anticipated to be funded with NYS and/or Federal loan and grant funds. All project bidding, construction administration, and inspection/closeout activities associated with the project could be performed in accordance with NYSEFC, Community Development Block Grant, and/or USDA Rural Development requirements and regulations. In keeping with these requirements, the qualifications-based procurement standards for the Procurement of Architectural, Engineering, and Surveying (A/E) Services shall apply. Utilizing a qualifications-based process, the Town will select a consulting engineering firm to design, bid, administer and close-out various water and wastewater projects to be undertaken by the Town. Proposals will be received from all firms which wish to be considered for this engagement.
