The improvements will include construction of approximately 3.2 miles of multi-use trail extending from Putnam’s River Trail into the Town of Killingly (Industrial Park). The project is a proposed 10-ft to 12-ft wide multi-use trail and includes conversion of a section of abandoned rail corridor, construction of a new structure over the river, modifications to an existing structure over the river and a connection to Lake Road in Killingly, with a total length of +/- 16,000 linear feet (about 3.2 miles). The consulting Engineering firm selected may also be required to provide survey, prepare environmental documents, and perform construction inspection. The projected construction cost is expected to be in the range of $11,200,000. Firms responding to this request should be of adequate size and sufficiently staffed to perform the assignment described above. The Consulting Engineering firm will be evaluated and selected based on design and technical competence, the capacity and capability to perform the work within the time allotted, past record of performance, and knowledge of Federal, State, and Municipal procedures, appropriately weighted in descending order of importance. The design fee will be negotiated on a Lump Sum basis.
