Attachment_5_-_SE_Quadrant_Partial_Setback_Concept.pdf

This file is a conceptual design document for the Southeast Quadrant Partial Setback Levee Project, part of Pierce County Planning and Public Works' Surface Water Management Division's architecture and engineering services initiative for the 1428 - 128th ST E setback levee projects. The project encompasses design work across multiple quadrants (Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest), with selected consulting engineering firms required to deliver an initial design and delivery strategy followed by complete preliminary, structural, and engineering (PS&E) designs at 15%, 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion levels. Qualifications were due November 25, 2026, and the selected consultant will provide comprehensive engineering services as detailed in the attached Scope of Work Summaries, with the first task involving a review of all three quadrants to establish an overall design and delivery strategy.

Compensation for the project shall be structured using unit-of-measure, milestone-based, or labor-based rates as specified in Exhibit B, with annual budget adjustments limited to the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue Consumer Price Index changes, capped at 5%. The contract framework is established through the Professional Services Agreement (Exhibit A), and the Exhibit B feasibility study from May 2023 provides the technical baseline and quadrant-specific design considerations. Required insurance includes commercial general liability and professional liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 cyber liability, and technology professional liability where applicable. Prevailing wage requirements under RCW 39.12 apply to applicable public works activities, and the contract is governed by Washington law with venue in Pierce County Superior Court, subject to Public Records Act obligations and renewal options ranging from non-renewable to automatic renewal for up to five years.
