Description
The City of Middletown is soliciting a qualified, Connecticut‑licensed architectural and engineering team to design a two‑level parking deck on the existing Melilli Plaza North lot. The scope includes concept development, schematic design, construction‑document preparation, cost estimating, permitting coordination, bid assistance, and construction administration for a project funded with city bond proceeds. The effort will involve site investigations, integration of existing EV chargers, ADA‑compliant egress, lighting, security cameras, and a decorative façade that matches surrounding architecture. The contract will be awarded to one design firm that demonstrates at least ten years of experience with parking structures in Connecticut and can deliver the full suite of services from concept through close‑out.
