The scope includes concept development, schematic design, construction‑document preparation, cost estimating, permitting coordination, bid assistance, and construction administration for a project funded with city bond proceeds. The effort will involve site investigations, integration of existing EV chargers, ADA‑compliant egress, lighting, security cameras, and a decorative façade that matches surrounding architecture. The contract will be awarded to one design firm that demonstrates at least ten years of experience with parking structures in Connecticut and can deliver the full suite of services from concept through close‑out. • Mandatory pre‑bid meeting on Sept 1, 2026 (attendance required). • Questions due Sept 11, 2026 (noon). • Final sealed proposals due Oct 16, 2026 by 3 PM. • Project location: Melilli North Parking Lot, Washington St., Middletown, CT. • Required deliverables: concept plans, 60 % design, full construction documents, cost estimates, and construction‑admin services. • Minimum team qualifications: licensed architect and engineers, geologist, surveyor, with ≥10 years parking‑structure experience. • Budget‑fee expectation: design services typically 5‑10 % of construction cost for a ~1‑acre, two‑level deck (estimated construction cost $30‑40 M).
