Engineering Services for Street, Bridge, Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian, Survey, and Construction
Engineering
May 15, 2026
Section 1: Background
The City of Nashua’s Division of Public Works (DPW) wishes to select two or more professional
engineering firm(s) to provide engineering services in Street, Bridge, Traffic, Bicycle &, Pedestrian,
Survey, and Construction Engineering disciplines on an as-needed, project-specific basis. The DPW
requires engineering services in the above disciplines to support and maintain its infrastructure
and facilities, and to complete federally funded local public agency (LPA) projects in partnership
with the NH Department of Transportation (NHDOT). The City’s Engineering Department provides
in-house services; however, consultant support is often needed, due to magnitude of project
scope, urgency of need, or requirement for specific expertise. It is the intent of this RFQ to select
two or more qualified firm(s) with expertise in the above disciplines to provide such support.
Section 2: Scope of Services
Specific projects in the subject engineering disciplines will include all aspects of project
development and execution including planning, design, permitting assistance, bid and proposal
development, engineering review and analysis, preparing grant applications, feasibility reports,
cost/benefit analysis, peer review, survey, contract administration, construction engineering, and
observation for local and federally funded projects. This RFQ does not include a current defined
scope for an active project, and does not preclude the City from engaging other engineering firms
for similar services separate from this RFQ selection, as needed. The City reserves the right to
retain multiple consultants and to assign work at its sole discretion based on project requirements,
expertise, availability, and overall best interest of the City. Project scopes, schedules, and budgets
will vary greatly depending on available funds and immediacy and/or nature of need.
All interested firms shall have sufficient, readily available resources in the form of trained
personnel, support services, ability to contract with specialized sub consultants, and other
resources to carry out the work without delay or shortcomings.
