PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF THE A-FRAME TRANSMISSION LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT

The City of Homer, Alaska is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms for the design of the A-Frame Transmission Line Replacement Project.

The project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and other facilities necessary to prepare planning documents and bid documents. We envision the project to be comprised of two stages: design and construction. The design stage would consist of preparing 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% bid documents, including obtaining all environmental and regulatory permits and incorporation of funding conditions. The construction phase would consist of providing bidding assistance, construction contract management, inspection services and project close-out services.
