Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) will retain at least two (2) consultant engineering/planning firms, with experience providing transportation planning services to act as the consulting engineer/planner for projects involving Federal, PennDOT, or other public funding in the planning, design and/or construction of highway, bridge, and other transportation-related projects. The selected firms must be a PennDOT-registered business partner through ECMS. The firms should demonstrate knowledge and experience in:

•    storm water management, modeling and design.

The appointments will last for a period of five (5) years, with annual reappointment considered during a HATS Coordinating Committee meeting. As federal, PennDOT, or other publicly-funded projects are realized, one (1) firm or team of firms will be selected for the intended purpose, and an individual agreement or work order will be prepared.

Firms interested in this work should submit a statement of interest (SOI). The selection will be made directly from the SOI for those consultants deemed eligible and with a pre-qualification package on file with PennDOT. The SOI shall be limited to five (5) 8 ½ x11 inch pages single sided not including the organization chart, resumes, or cover letter.
