CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING SERVICES
Argonne Road/I-90 Bridge Project
The City of Spokane Valley (City) solicits interest from consulting firms with expertise and experience in Preliminary Engineering services. This agreement will be for approximately two years in duration with the option for the City to extend it for additional time and money at the City's discretion and as additional funds become available.
The City reserves the right to amend terms of this "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ) to circulate various addenda, or to withdraw the RFQ at any time, regardless of how much time and effort consultants have spent on their responses.
Project DescriptionThe work to be performed by the consultant consists of preliminary design, survey, geotechnical, environmental, and traffic analysis and public outreach services associated with the design for Argonne Road/I-90 Bridge Project. The project widens or replaces the existing Argonne Rd. bridge over I-90. The project will identify the necessary steps to finalize project design, purchase right-of-way (if required), and accurately scope the project's construction phase. The project begins approximately at the signalized intersection of Argonne Rd. and westbound I-90 and extends south approximately to the signalized intersection of Argonne Rd. and eastbound I-90. A new bridge is likely to resemble the existing bridge's length of approximately 225 feet but will be determined during the preliminary design. Work will also include evaluation of the pedestrian facilities on and adjacent to the bridge and coordination with Spokane Transit Authority on their planned park and ride facility located south of the bridge between Argonne and Mullan, north of Mission and south of I-90. This agreement has a 16% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal. Preliminary Engineering services are intended to be phased and may include:
The City of Spokane Valley reserves the right to retain the services of the successful firms for any subsequent phases (R/W, CN) associated with this project.
