GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

RFQ0657-061826

Engineering Services for Street, Bridge, Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian, Survey, and Construction

Engineering

May 15, 2026

Section 1: Background

The City of Nashua’s Division of Public Works (DPW) wishes to select two or more professional

engineering firm(s) to provide engineering services in Street, Bridge, Traffic, Bicycle &, Pedestrian,

Survey, and Construction Engineering disciplines on an as-needed, project-specific basis. The DPW

requires engineering services in the above disciplines to support and maintain its infrastructure

and facilities, and to complete federally funded local public agency (LPA) projects in partnership

with the NH Department of Transportation (NHDOT). The City’s Engineering Department provides

in-house services; however, consultant support is often needed, due to magnitude of project

scope, urgency of need, or requirement for specific expertise. It is the intent of this RFQ to select

two or more qualified firm(s) with expertise in the above disciplines to provide such support.

Section 2: Scope of Services

Specific projects in the subject engineering disciplines will include all aspects of project

development and execution including planning, design, permitting assistance, bid and proposal

development, engineering review and analysis, preparing grant applications, feasibility reports,

cost/benefit analysis, peer review, survey, contract administration, construction engineering, and

observation for local and federally funded projects. This RFQ does not include a current defined

scope for an active project, and does not preclude the City from engaging other engineering firms

for similar services separate from this RFQ selection, as needed. The City reserves the right to

retain multiple consultants and to assign work at its sole discretion based on project requirements,

expertise, availability, and overall best interest of the City. Project scopes, schedules, and budgets

will vary greatly depending on available funds and immediacy and/or nature of need.

All interested firms shall have sufficient, readily available resources in the form of trained

personnel, support services, ability to contract with specialized sub consultants, and other

resources to carry out the work without delay or shortcomings.
