notice Township of Haverford – Request for Proposals The Township of Haverford seeks Proposals from qualified consultants for the design and permitting of proposed improvements to the intersection of Glendale Road and Burmont Road in the Drexel Hill section of the Township. The proposed project includes the extension of the Darby Creek Trail from its current terminus at Merry Place Park to the new intersection, as well as a well-defined and well-marked pedestrian crossing to the trail extension. In addition, the proposed project will reconstruct/re-align the sidewalk from Lisa Circle to the intersection. Funding for this project is secured through a Multimodal Transportation Fund grant. All design and construction must meet all required guidelines for the use of grant funds for the project. The method of procurement is competitive negotiations. The modified selection method will be used. The Township of Haverford encourages responses from small firms, minority firms and firms who have not previously performed work for the Township. The Township further encourages prime consultants to notify DBE subconsultants of contracting opportunities associated with this project and to solicit their participation. Haverford Township will review submissions based on the following equally weighted criteria: • Ability of selected firm/team to provide services identified in this RFP based on experience and related projects. • Ability of selected firm/team to prepare necessary design plans/documentation and gain appropriate approvals within the proposed timeframe. • Competence of the firm/team in providing required services as evidenced by past performance identified through discussions with references. • Experience and qualifications of staff assigned to the project with respect to the technical aspects, as well as experience with Township and PennDOT projects. • Current workload and capacity of the selected firm/team to complete the project within the proposed timeframe. • Overall understanding of the project and identified approach to complete the project. Consultants will be ranked from those consultants who submit a Proposal. The Township will recommend the top three ranking firms/teams to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Upon receipt of the approval of the consultants from the Department, the Township will commence negotiations with the top-ranking firm/team based on the sealed cost proposal provided with the submission. If cost negotiations with the top-ranking firm/team are unsuccessful, the Township may decide to negotiate with the second-ranked firm.
