The Port of Bellingham (the Port) is soliciting responses from qualified and experienced engineering consulting firms to this Request for Professional Services (RFPS) to assist the Port with development and implementation of stormwater treatment of current and future stormwater treatment needs for the Park and adjacent access (west of Seaview Avenue). Bid documents can be found on the Port's website https://www.portofbellingham.com/bids.aspx. Work may include field data collection, surveying, development of alternatives, civil and stormwater design along with preliminary park design, upland park design, permitting, and development of bid documents for a formal public works project or projects. public works bid support, construction administration, and/or construction management. The approximate project area as well as park and stormwater concepts are shown in Appendix A. The goal of this project is to develop a stormwater treatment plan and construction of new facilities utilizing approximately $300,000 of Port and remaining Washington State Department of Ecology grant funds from the recently completed Little Squalicum Habitat Beach project. The actual extent of work will be contingent on execution of the Port’s pending grant amendment with Ecology. The expectation is that a phased stormwater treatment design for the park and adjacent access will be developed. i.e. develop a stormwater main design that would allow for a phased approach where the entire stormwater main and a treatment system for the non park drainage runoff is constructed 1st. That same stormwater main would be designed to accommodate treated flows from a future park improvements project that may include a paved parking area, lawn and concrete sidewalks. In addition, the consultant may be requested to provide future park improvement design and permitting efforts and/or construction services (assist the Port with submittal review, RFIs, change orders, inspections, record drawing preparation, and/or other construction-related tasks). The selected respondent team should plan on completing the following tasks as determined by the Port: • Project management including, but not limited to, meetings, coordination, invoicing, file management, and potential grant cost projections and management • Regulatory and stakeholder coordination including preparation for and participating in meetings • Permitting – assumption for stormwater work is that existing permits will be able to bepotentially amended and utilized for construction of the stormwater. Possible future park work would require new permits. • Survey and design. • Develop bid documents which may be phased. Construction efforts may be accomplished through standard public works bidding, or through the use of job order contracting. • Construction management and oversight. • Port may choose to extend the scope of work to include design, permitting, and construction of future Park improvements.
