Washington St Utility Design RFP

The Town of Exeter is requesting proposals for professional engineering services for utility design on Washington Street.

The replacement of the water mains in Washington Street is planned for 2018.  This street was selected for water main replacement due to the extensive break history and age of the pipes. The water main has a history of 20 breaks within the last 15 years, and more than 11 of those have been in the last 6 years, including 2 in 2017. In addition to the water main, deficiencies have been identified in the sanitary sewer and storm drains. Further investigation is needed to determine what improvements may be required for these utilities.

The following pre-qualified consulting firms have been invited to the proposal process:

• AECOM
• CMA Engineers
• Dubois & King
• Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc.
• Underwood Engineers, Inc.
• Weston & Sampson
• Wright-Pierce, Inc.
