The project requires consulting engineering firms to develop a 20-year strategic plan addressing the city's wastewater treatment infrastructure, including hydraulic modeling, flow projections, biosolids management updates, and infiltration and inflow studies across near-term (0-5 years), mid-term (6-10 years), and long-term (11-20 years) horizons.

The evaluation criteria allocate 40 points for demonstrated sewer master plan experience, 40 points for qualifications and expertise, and 20 points for unique services offered. Responding firms must obtain a City of Seaside Business License and maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 combined single limit, comply with Oregon Workers' Compensation requirements, and complete mandatory online Pay Equity Training before contract award. Solidsdude Solutions LLC and Waterdude Solutions LLC are explicitly ineligible due to prior knowledge of the city's wastewater system. The City intends to rank up to four qualified firms and negotiate with the top-ranked firm, with the contract potentially extending from 2025 through 2026 and subject to extension by written agreement. No specific budget or funding source is detailed in this schedule document.
