No consultant may begin work or incur reimbursable costs until the consultant contract is fully executed and CDRPC issues written authorization to proceed. Issued November 9, 2026 by Capital District Regional Planning Commission, 1 Park Place, Suite 102, Albany, New York 12205 CDRPC | Capital Region Timber Bridge Feasibility Initiative | RFQ • 1 1. Notice and Procurement Summary The Capital District Regional Planning Commission (CDRPC) invites qualifications-based proposals from qualified multidisciplinary consulting teams to complete the Capital Region Timber Bridge Feasibility Initiative. The assignment will inventory and screen locally owned short-span bridges in Saratoga, Rensselaer, and Schenectady Counties; prepare concept-level feasibility packages; advance two demonstration candidates to grant-ready concept packages; and produce a regional guidebook and workshop for municipal bridge owners. This procurement is for architectural and engineering and closely related professional services. Selection will be based on demonstrated competence and qualifications. Price will not be used as a selection factor. After ranking, CDRPC will negotiate a fair and reasonable scope, fee, and contract with the highest-ranked firm. If agreement cannot be reached, CDRPC may end negotiations and proceed to the next-ranked firm. CDRPC procurement policy provides: "All purchases expected to exceed established State guidelines in cost are purchased by bid. If possible, existing State (OGS) or Federal contracts are used." No suitable existing State or Federal contract has been identified in the materials reviewed for this procurement. Accordingly, CDRPC is publicly soliciting qualifications. Because the contemplated contract is for architectural and engineering professional services, the NBRC Grant Agreement requires the qualifications-based competitive procedure authorized by 2 CFR 200.320(b)(2)(iv), under which price is not used as a selection factor. The selected team must be capable of completing all work within the federal period of performance and in compliance with the NBRC Grant Agreement, 2 CFR Part 200, CDRPC procurement requirements, and all other applicable federal, state, and local requirements. Federal Funding Disclosure This project has a total approved cost of $150,000. Sixty percent (60%), or $90,000, is financed with federal funds from the Northern Border Regional Commission. Forty percent (40%), or $60,000, is financed with New York State funds. Zero percent (0%), or $0, is financed from nongovernmental sources. The anticipated consultant contract is not to exceed $135,000 of the approved project budget. 2. Background and Project Purpose CDRPC received a Timber for Transit Feasibility Award from the Northern Border Regional Commission for a tri-county initiative in NBRC-eligible portions of New York. The project is intended to expand practical use of domestically sourced wood products, including glued- laminated timber, cross-laminated or laminated deck panels, solid-sawn components, and appropriate hybrid systems, in rural transportation infrastructure. The regional candidate inventory is expected to focus on locally owned bridges generally 50 feet or less in length and carrying 300 or fewer vehicles per day, while allowing the consultant to recommend technically justified refinements to the screening universe. The existing candidate map and bridge identifiers will be provided to the selected consultant as a starting point, not as a final eligibility determination. • Primary service area: Saratoga, Rensselaer, and Schenectady Counties, New York. CDRPC \| Capital Region Timber Bridge Feasibility Initiative \| RFQ • 2 • Primary beneficiaries: rural municipalities, highway departments, residents, emergency services, school transportation, agricultural and local business traffic, and the regional forest-products supply chain. • Core objectives: reduce predevelopment barriers; develop replicable timber bridge concepts; strengthen climate and extreme-weather readiness; document domestic and regional sourcing considerations; and position municipalities for future NBRC Implementation and New York State BridgeNY funding. 3. Scope of Services The following scope establishes required outcomes. Proposers may recommend refinements that improve technical rigor, efficiency, or implementation readiness without materially reducing required deliverables. Task 1. Project Initiation, Management, and Quality Assurance • Participate in a kickoff meeting with CDRPC and establish a detailed work plan, schedule, communication protocol, data-request list, risk register, and quality-management plan. • Coordinate with CDRPC, NYSDOT Region 1, the Capital Region Transportation Council, participating counties and municipalities, and forest-products or fabrication stakeholders identified by CDRPC. • Provide concise monthly progress updates, updated schedules, meeting notes, decision logs, invoice support by task, and documentation needed for federal grant reporting and reimbursement. • Maintain responsible-charge review by appropriately licensed New York professional engineers for engineering work products. Task 2. Regional Bridge Inventory, Screening, and Prioritization • Compile, reconcile, and document available bridge data from regional, state, county, and municipal sources. • Screen approximately 70 to 90 candidate bridges and develop a transparent, reproducible timber-feasibility scoring framework. • Evaluate, at a minimum, ownership, public access, span and geometry, roadway function, traffic, loading, condition, hydraulic and scour context, environmental and historic-resource considerations, right-of-way constraints, constructability, detour implications, utility conflicts, likely permitting, maintenance context, and compatibility with timber or hybrid systems. • Identify approximately 20 to 25 high-potential timber-feasible spans and recommend 16 to 19 structures for concept-level analysis. • Prepare GIS-ready data, maps, a screening memorandum, scoring matrix, data dictionary, and prioritized shortlist. Clearly identify assumptions, data gaps, and field verification needs. Task 3. Concept-Level Timber Bridge Feasibility Packages • Prepare 16 to 19 concept-level feasibility packages for structures approved by CDRPC. CDRPC | Capital Region Timber Bridge Feasibility Initiative | RFQ • 3 • Evaluate suitable alternatives such as glulam girders or beams, CLT or glulam deck panels, solid-sawn components, and hybrid timber-concrete systems when appropriate. • For each structure, address preliminary geometry and layout, structural concept and design criteria, anticipated loading, constructability and staging, foundations and substructure interface, hydraulic/scour considerations, durability and protection, inspection and maintenance, anticipated permits and environmental constraints, order-of-magnitude schedule, and planning-level capital and lifecycle cost considerations. • Estimate major timber quantities and identify likely domestic sourcing geography, supplier proximity, fabrication considerations, lead times, and market constraints. Document assumptions supporting expected material volumes and costs. • Compare timber alternatives with a reasonable conventional baseline and explain circumstances in which timber is or is not recommended. Do not force a timber recommendation where site conditions do not support it. • Provide concept drawings, photographs or mapping, concise owner-facing findings, and a clear readiness rating for future implementation funding. Task 4. Two Grant-Ready Demonstration Concept Packages • In consultation with CDRPC and project partners, select two high-priority demonstration candidates. • Advance each to an enhanced concept package sufficient to support future funding applications and scope development, but not final design or construction documents. • Include refined layouts, design basis, major material quantities, planning-level cost estimate and contingencies, preliminary schedule and delivery strategy, permitting and environmental pathway, right-of-way and utility considerations, anticipated New York State and federal coordination, risk register, operations and maintenance considerations, and recommended next steps. • Identify information and approvals still required before final design, including survey, geotechnical, hydraulic, environmental, historic-resource, load-rating, and ownership actions as applicable. • Frame each package for compatibility with future Timber for Transit Implementation and BridgeNY opportunities without representing that funding or eligibility is guaranteed. Task 5. Capital Region Timber Bridge Guide • Prepare an accessible, publication-ready guide for municipal officials, highway superintendents, engineers, and other bridge owners. • Summarize suitable systems and span ranges; design and procurement considerations; domestic and regional sourcing; durability, inspection, maintenance, fire and moisture protection as applicable; climate and extreme-weather considerations; cost and schedule drivers; permitting; delivery methods; funding pathways; and lessons from the regional feasibility work. • Provide editable source files, print-ready PDF, accessible PDF, graphics, tables, and templates that CDRPC may reuse with attribution. CDRPC \| Capital Region Timber Bridge Feasibility Initiative \| RFQ • 4 Task 6. Outreach, Workshop, and Final Documentation • Plan and deliver one regional workshop with CDRPC and project partners for municipal highway and public works officials. • Prepare agenda, presentation, handouts, case examples, attendance documentation, evaluation form, and follow-up materials. • Present findings to the project working group and incorporate one consolidated round of comments into final deliverables. • Provide final electronic files, including native/editable files, geospatial data, spreadsheets, drawings, photographs with usage rights, and a complete source and assumptions log. 4.
