The on-call contract will be awarded for up to $600,000 with a five-year term beginning January 2027 and ending January 2032, with specific work scopes, fees, and schedules to be defined through individual Work Authorizations as needed by SDOT.

The reference submission requires documentation of experience directly relevant to the Seamless Seattle pedestrian wayfinding system, which currently includes over 120 signs across Downtown and University District locations with planned expansions. Consultants must demonstrate capabilities in wayfinding system planning, map and asset development using SDOT's established design standards, updates to existing wayfinding signs and assets, city pedestrian wayfinding system asset management, and community engagement. There is no minimum guarantee of work under this solicitation, and individual Work Authorizations will be negotiated between SDOT's Project Manager and the selected consultant based on specific project needs, schedules, and budgets.
