Request for Professional Engineering Services- Stormwater Infrastructure Upgrade Project

Project Description: MILFORD Borough is a municipality in Pike County Pennsylvania which functions as the administrative center of the county i.e. the County Seat. It is one half square mile in area with a population of 1394. Its current municipal storm water infrastructure system, designed in the early 1900s, with subsequent piecemeal renovations, is in need of repairs and upgrades. The Borough has secured $3,500,000 in federal funding for this stormwater upgrade project through a RTPFC grant from the EPA and is looking for a qualified Engineering Firm to provide services in conjunction with creating a detailed stormwater upgrade solution including a master design for repairs, replacements, implementation work plan and execution per this grant.
It is the intent of Milford Borough to secure the services of an Engineering Firm for improvements and implementation of a stormwater infrastructure initiative for the Borough which will repair / replace / upgrade the broken antiquated infrastructure and thereby reduce the runoff and pollution that enters the nearby waterways and will improve its water quality and community health. The following Request for Proposal for Professional Engineering Services provides a framework for Stormwater Engineering Firms to competitively submit a proposal to assist Milford Borough in developing a stormwater infrastructure upgrade solution.
The original design of the Borough stormwater infrastructure system was to preserve and protect the pristine natural landscapes of the community. This plan however did not account enough for the slope runoffs and pollution congestion over the years. The frequency of storms has caused an unmanageable pressure on the current system and the Borough is looking for professional help in implementing a stormwater infrastructure system upgrade which will provide a sustainable management system for many years to come.
This Request for Professional Engineering Services contains the following requirements:
a. To replace/repair the approximately 12000 feet of galvanized pipe currently in disrepair. (Attached is a preliminary engineering identification of the streets needing storm water repair). The Borough would like sleeves to be inserted into the existing horizontals and filled whenever possible to avoid road repair and minimize cost.
b. To identify and implement extensions to the current system whenever it makes sense.
c. To identify sections of pipe which need a larger diameter pipe and to provide engineering for that implementation.
The Bidder is encouraged to add to or clarify any of the scope of work items it deems appropriate to obtain a high-quality plan at the lowest possible cost. All changes should be listed and explained; however, the scope of work proposed, at a minimum, must accomplish the goals and work outlined.
