Southwest Region Planning Commission (SWRPC) is seeking Statements of Qualifications from engineering firms for services related to its project “Bridging the Gap: Developing the Timber-to-Transit Value Chain in the Monadnock Region and Beyond.” The initiative is funded through the Timber for Transit Program, administered by the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC). This project aims to demonstrate how engineered and conventional wood products could help address the transportation infrastructure needs of rural communities in Cheshire County, NH.
The selected firm will be tasked with completing engineering and predevelopment assistance services including assessing the feasibility of incorporating innovative timber products into several high-priority transportation infrastructure projects, updating and expanding existing bridge superstructure plans, and project management and coordination.
SWRPC aims to engage a qualified firm by the end of January 2026. All project activities performed by the engaged firm must be complete by February 2027. The sequencing of project activities is contingent on individual infrastructure projects selected for engineering/predevelopment assistance an execution of corresponding task orders.

Questions regarding this RFQ must be submitted in writing via email to Todd Horner at [email protected] by October 30, 2025.
