City of Niles’ Advertisement to issue a Request for Qualifications for Design/Engineering of the US-422 Watermain Loop Improvement Project

Request for Qualifications for Design/Engineering of the US-422 Watermain Loop Improvement Project

Envelopes should be clearly marked “Request for Qualifications for Design/Engineering of the US-422 Watermain Loop Improvement Project”
Each qualification shall contain the full name and address of every person, firm, or corporation interested in the same, and if a corporation, the name and address of the president. Qualifications will be based on section (D) of the Ohio Revised Code 153.65. The City reserves the right to reject any or all submissions.
The proposed project consists of constructing a new water main crossing beneath Mosquito Creek and US 422. Due to the presence of the creek, bridge, and roadway infrastructure, trenchless construction methods will be required. The anticipated approach includes Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) beneath Mosquito Creek and jack and casing (jack & bore) beneath US 422, as necessary. Engineering services will be needed to advance the project through design, permitting, and bidding, resulting in a complete and constructable package for implementation. For more information regarding Requests for Qualifications please contact Kevin Robertson, Water Superintendent, at krobertson@thecityofniles.com 330-544-9000 ext. 1171
RFQ Submittals shall be mailed in a sealed envelope and received no later than 10:00 a.m. on August 12, 2026 to:
