Overview. The City of Burlington (“City”) is seeking Statements of Qualifications (“SOQ”) from qualified architectural/engineering firms relating to engineering services for more permanent resilient solutions to the Winooski River inverted siphon sewer line failure that occurred on 7/12/23. Depending on the timing of consultant selection and the nature of the break in the river, the firm may also be involved in designing and implementing short term repairs to the pipe. The funding for engineering and construction is anticipated to be aided by available disaster relief and mitigation funds, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Burlington is planning to have a separate FEMA Program Consultant that is not part of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to assist with evaluating the sources of funding that could be available for different repair alternatives. Qualified firms will possess technical expertise, management and staffing capabilities, references, and related prior experience to complete the projects described in this RFQ. Qualified firms will also be required to demonstrate professional services which include, but are not limited to, preliminary engineering services, design- and construction-related services, preparation of bidding and contract documents, participation in the evaluation of bids received, and monitoring and inspection of construction activities to ensure compliance with plans, specifications, and requirements of any funding sources that are used for this project.
