The Rockingham Planning Commission, representing the government authority in Exeter, New Hampshire, is seeking transportation planning and engineering services to support regional infrastructure initiatives. The agency needs to develop improvement concepts and secure planning-level engineering assistance for proposed transportation projects within the region.

The scope of work covers the development and presentation of conceptual sketches, planning-level engineering assistance, and the preparation of preliminary cost estimates for projects and their alternatives. Selected providers must meet with representatives of member communities and agency staff on an as-needed basis to discuss work products. Depending on funding availability, the agency may also require support for additional land use and environmental planning services. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all contracted work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the project budget and has not signaled a specific funding limit. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 12, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on the bidder's ability to deliver the requested engineering assistance, cost estimation accuracy, and conceptual design capabilities.
