What this contract is for

Agency: City of New Haven, CT - City Plan
Location: New Haven, CT
Scope: State & Local

The City of New Haven is seeking qualifications for a multi-disciplinary team to deliver a comprehensive Reconnection Plan along I-91 in New Haven, Connecticut. The selected team must demonstrate experience in community-driven planning processes with a high level of technical capability to work in a diverse urban environment with a commitment to integrating climate adaptation, resilience, and equity into infrastructure and project planning. This project is funded primarily with a $2 Million Reconnecting Communities Pilot planning grant from USDOT, with a period of performance of 2 years for this planning process. The City envisions this effort as a strong partnership with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) to ensure that the future of I-91 in New Haven continues to provide access to the City and function within the broader regional highway system, while also supporting the City’s goals for housing, sustainability, resiliency, neighborhood revitalization and reconnection, and transportation efficiency & safety, in part through land reclamation, and enhanced transit, pedestrian, and bicycle connectivity. The effort is designed to investigate and develop a comprehensive and strategic Plan for improving mobility, land use, environmental conditions, economic vitality, and neighborhood cohesion along the I-91 corridor through the City of New Haven. The study will align with both New Haven and CTDOT’s vision, while adhering to FHWA’s requirements for implementing feasible improvements through transportation planning best practices, FHWA’s Planning & Environmental Linkages (PEL) and the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Frameworks.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.

This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
