Geotechnical Consultation Services

The Town of Ellicottville, New York, requires professional geotechnical consultation services to support the installation of approximately 31,000 linear feet of high-density polyethylene low-pressure sewer main. This infrastructure project includes sewer mains with diameters ranging from 1.25 inches to 6 inches, an intermediate pump station, air and vacuum valve stations, valves, cleanout and flushing stations, line markers, tracer wires, and locating stations. The agency needs to understand the subsurface conditions of the project area to ensure proper design and construction of these utility assets. The requested scope of work involves reporting boring logs that include continuous soil sampling, blow counts, and groundwater level measurements. The selected contractor must report each boring location using existing physical features in the area, collect precise GPS coordinates, and mark the locations for subsequent pick-up by a surveyor. The agency requires all analytical and reporting work to be performed offsite at the contractor's own office location. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based exclusively in the United States. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services, and has not disclosed a pre-determined budget limit. The solicitation documents do not specify explicit evaluation criteria or key milestone dates, meaning the agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted qualifications and pricing structures.
