REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) –

Professional Engineering and Design, Bidding and

Construction Administration and Inspection Services

March 20th, 2026

INTRODUCTION

The Village of Johnson City, Broome County, New York is seeking Statement of Qualifications from

engineering firms to provide professional services including engineering and design, bidding and construction

administration and inspection services for the Corliss Area Combined Sewer Retrofit Project.

Downtown Johnson City is one of the Village’s most concentrated areas for development and the continued

growth has led to strains on the existing stormwater infrastructure. Currently the area near Corliss Avenue in

Johnson City is serviced by a combined sewer collection system and the main lines can no longer effectively

convey stormwater out of the area during wet weather events. The Village seeks to improve drainage by

separating the interconnected sewer system and replacing undersized and/or deteriorated lines within the subject

area. The Village intends to retain an engineering firm with significant experience with CSO abatement,

sewerage and drainage design and construction services, and general environmental project experience. The use

of green infrastructure practices should be considered throughout the design process.

II. PROJECT SCOPE

Required professional services may include but are not limited to sewer 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 and

specifications.

Work associated with the Corliss Area Combined Sewer Retrofit Project will include supplementing existing

survey data for Corliss Avenue with information on the existing adjacent stormwater outfalls and assisting the

Village in determining the best route for discharging the separated stormwater flows. The consultant will also be

responsible for evaluating the existing stormwater pipes for capacity and design any necessary expansions or

improvements. The consultant will work closely with DPW staff to review existing plans and CCTV

information.

The project referenced in this RFQ is anticipated to be funded with NYS and/or Federal loan and grant funds.

All project bidding, construction administration, and inspection/closeout activities associated with the project

must be performed in accordance with NYS EFC, DEC, and DOH regulations. In keeping with these

requirements, the qualifications-based procurement standards for the Procurement of Architectural,

Engineering, and Surveying (A/E) Services shall also apply.

Because of the complexity and proximity to other large-scale projects, the nature of sewer separation projects,

and agency approvals, it may be necessary to expand the initial scope of improvements as work progresses.
