Specifications include, but are not limited to: The number of homes affected is unknown. Defective foundations are known to exist in Andover, Ashford, Bolton, Columbia, Coventry, East Hartford, East Windsor, Ellington, Enfield, Glastonbury, Manchester, Mansfield, Somers, South Windsor, Stafford, Tolland, Union, Vernon, Willington and Woodstock, but there may be as-yet-unidentified properties in other North Central and Northeastern communities. The expectation is that an indefinite number of homeowners and/or homebuyers will require the assistance of structural engineers to identify the scope of work for replacing their crumbling concrete foundation. CRCOG is seeking to add to its list of professional, experienced and qualified residential structural engineers who can inspect the foundation, advise homeowners on next steps, and develop plans and provide cost estimates for completing the work. Successful Respondents will be placed on a list of qualified contractors for the work. The list will be available to individual private property owners for their use in retaining the services of successful Respondents of their choice. Any contract entered into pursuant to this solicitation will be between the contractor and individual property owner. CRCOG will not be a party to any contract, nor will CRCOG be responsible in any way for contract performance including payment terms. Nothing herein, or in any contract resulting from this solicitation should be construed as a guarantee by CRCOG of contract performance.
