Multi-year On-Call Engineering Services Contract and Task Order #1 for
Structural Investigations of Pedestrian Bridges
To approve a multi-year on-call engineering services contract with Hoyle, Tanner
& Associates, Inc. of Manchester, NH, and further to approve Task Order #1
under that contract for Structural Investigations in an amount not to exceed
$14,251. Funding will be through Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund:
General; Account Category: 53 Professional and Technical Services $12,000 and
Department: 161 Streets; Fund: Capital; Activity: Infrastructure Improvements
$2,251.
Scope of Services
The Division of Public Works selected Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. (HTA)
for Engineering Services for Highway, Bridge, Traffic, and Bicycle/Pedestrian
Infrastructure under RFQ0657-092420. Consultant support is often needed to
supplement in-house engineering services, due to magnitude of project scope,
urgency of need, or requirement for specific expertise. Public Works desires to
engage in a multi-year contract with HTA, where base contract terms are
established and support services are contracted as needed through subsequent task
orders, each with a defined scope and fee.
Under Task Order #1 HTA will perform field observations, and provide
assessments and recommendations for maintenance of all 16 City-owned pedestrian
bridges, as well as a retaining wall along Franklin Street. Periodic inspections of
these bridges by a qualified structural expert is appropriate to ensure they are in a
safe condition and to plan for future maintenance.
