Norwalk WPCA authorizes up-to-$250,000 engineering contract for Keeler Brook work
Summary
The WPCA voted unanimously to authorize the chair or vice chair to execute an agreement with Tie and Bond Inc. for professional engineering services (not to exceed $250,000) to support work related to the Keeler Brook pump station project; staff said Tie and Bond was selected through an RFQ process.
The Norwalk Water Pollution Control Authority on April 21 authorized an engineering contract not to exceed $250,000 with Tie and Bond Inc. to provide site planning, land-use evaluation, building assessment, drainage analysis, permitting support and related services for work tied to the Keeler Brook pump station project.
A WPCA staff member told the board the authority issued a request for qualifications and conducted interviews; "Tie and Bond Inc is the selected consultant based on the committee that reviewed the RFQ and the presentations," the staff member said. The staff member added the initial scope will include acquisition-related work tied to the Keeler Brook pump station that had been discussed at prior meetings.
The motion authorizing the chairman or vice chairman to execute the agreement passed unanimously. The contract amount was presented as a not-to-exceed figure of $250,000. Staff said the WPCA would use one of the authority's consultants already under contract if the board approved the project and that the selected consultant would support project scoping and permitting steps.
Board members asked no substantive questions before the vote. The contract authorization moves the Keeler Brook-related scoping and permitting work into a phase where consultant services can begin; further board action would be required for any larger construction contracts or capital funding commitments.
