The projected construction cost is expected to be in the range of $2,700,000, including

contingencies, incidentals and right of way costs. Firms responding to this request should be of

adequate size and sufficiently staffed to perform the assignments described above.

The Consulting Engineering firm will be evaluated and selected based on design and technical

competence, the capacity and capability to perform the work within the time allotted, past record

of performance, and knowledge of Federal, State and Municipal procedures, appropriately

The design fee will be negotiated on a Lump Sum basis.
