This contract calls for a full‑service professional engineering design package for the Lake Avenue and Bigelow Davis Parkway intersection in Worcester, MA. The City of Worcester, funded by the CMMPO TIP, is allocating up to $500,000 to cover the entire design effort (pre‑design through 100 % PS&E) on a cost‑plus basis, with a maximum net fee of 10 % of the contract amount. The scope includes site surveys, traffic and safety analyses, environmental coordination, public outreach, geometric and signal design, right‑of‑way planning, geotechnical reporting, and construction‑phase support (limited to shop‑drawing review, RFIs, and site visits). No construction‑management services are to be priced in this phase, and the award will be made to the most advantageous responsive and responsible proposer after a technical‑first evaluation. The contract is expected to be awarded in September 2025, with design work commencing shortly thereafter.
