  1 – Pipe design and pipe rehabilitation projects

  2 – Pump station and force main projects (Category A teams only)

  3 – Outfall design and outfall rehabilitation projects

  4 – Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) projects

There will be two solicitation categories. A prime consultant may only submit one proposal in one of the two categories.  “Category A” contracts are open to all prime consultant firms and may include project types 1 – 4.  “Category B” contracts are only open to prime consultant firms listed as a small business on the City’s Online Business Directory and may include project types 1, 3, or 4. Each Contract will be awarded for five (5) years and have an initial contract amount of $3M.

SPU does not guarantee a specific volume of work under these planned contract(s). Per SMC 20.50.030, selection of the Consultant(s) is subject to applicable laws and ordinances regarding equal employment opportunity.
