Estimate

Description

The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) will retain Term Consultants in various Engineering disciplines to accomplish services outlined in Attachment B of the RFP that are associated with a variety of potential projects and work assignments. This Term Agreement will be for three years beginning on April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2030 with options to renew the contracts for two additional one-year terms (expiring on March 31, 2031 and March 31, 2032). Being selected as a Term Consultant will not obligate the NFTA to contract for any specific project assignments nor for any dollar amount.

Once the Term Consultants are selected, potential project assignments are intended to be awarded to the ‘best qualified’ firm as determined by the NFTA. Specifics of the proposed team organization shall be negotiable on a per project assignment basis. Subcontracting is permissible.

Consultants are invited to submit proposals on any one or more of the Disciplines listed below. Term Consultant Contracts will be awarded specific to Discipline. The Consultant shall submit a separate proposal for each Discipline they are pursuing. In the event a Consultant submits proposals from two or more Disciplines, the NFTA reserves the right to evaluate and select proposals independently. Consultants may be awarded a contract for more than one Discipline. The Disciplines are as follows:
• Architecture
• Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing (MEP)
• Civil / Structural
• LRRT - Train Control
• Health, Safety, Environmental Quality (HSEQ)
• Planning
• Construction Monitoring
Proposals will be evaluated based on qualifications. Consultant proposal’s must not include a cost proposal or cost proposal type information.
