INSTRUCTIONS TO RESPONDENTS
1. GENERAL:
The City of Concord, New Hampshire (hereafter referred to as the CITY), is seeking the services of a
professional engineering design and consultant services firm (hereafter referred to as the CONSULTANT)
lawfully engaged in the practice of professional engineering in the State of New Hampshire in the
professional engineering disciplines noted herein. In addition, qualified firms must be listed as a
Prequalified Consulting Engineer by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
(NHDES) for water and wastewater projects. Interested firms should respond to this request on or before
the time due for submission. It is the intent of the CITY to select no less than two (2) firms to provide on-
call engineering design and consultant services for various projects within the CITY’s capital
improvement program including water treatment, supply, and distribution projects, as well as sanitary
sewer treatment and collection system projects.
Trade secrets or proprietary information submitted by a CONSULTANT in connection with a
procurement transaction shall not be subject to public disclosure under the New Hampshire Freedom of
Information Act, however, the CONSULTANT must invoke the protection of this section prior to or upon
submission of the information or other materials, and must identify the data or other materials to be
protected, and state the reasons why protection is necessary. Disposition of material after award is made
should be stated by the CONSULTANT.
Emphasis in selecting a firm shall be placed on the firm’s qualifications and experience in projects similar
to those which the CITY anticipates undertaking. Given that this is a qualification based selection
process, the CONSULTANT is instructed to NOT submit any cost or fee statements at this time. Once a
qualification based selection is made, the selected CONSULTANT(s) will be requested to submit their
standard hourly labor rates, fixed overhead rates, and fixed fee in a separate cover.
It is understood that each capital project selected for consultant services by the CITY shall be negotiated
with the selected CONSULTANT based on the CONSULTANT’S fee statement and the scope of the
work for the project. Each project cost shall be reviewed by the CITY to ensure it is consistent with the
CONSULTANT’S fee statement and that all other costs, not included as part of the fee statement, are
market competitive.
Consulting projects awarded will generally be based on cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts or firm-fixed/lump
sum contracts depending on the project funding source and conditions.
2. EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
The CONSULTANT shall provide a list in chronological order, based upon completion date, of the
previous and current contracts within the listed engineering disciplines, if any, awarded by a
governmental agency to the CONSULTANT, which are considered identical or similar in scope of
services discussed herein. The CONSULTANT shall include the following information on this list:
1. Project title and relevant project discipline;
2. The contract duration, including dates of completion or project currently underway;
