The Town of Grafton is requesting technical proposals for professional architectural/engineering services for the design of the exterior fire escape staircase on the Town Hall located at 117 Main Street, Grafton VT.

Included in the scope of work: • Prepare drawing, specifications, and contract documents to be submitted to contractors in an RFP to solicit bids for the construction and installation of the stairs. • The design of the structure must be accepted and approved by the Selectboard before being used in the RFP, thus designs shall be submitted to the Selectboard during the preliminary stage of the development of the project and approved by the Selectboard prior to the development of the final working drawings. • Provide the Town with preliminary construction cost estimates based on those final working drawings.
