City of Manzanita, Oregon I. Introduction

City is seeking a professional engineering firm to provide professional engineering services, including construction administration and construction inspection of the Classic Street Road and Stormwater Improvement and Water Main Extension (See Exhibit A to this RFP, Scope of Work).

https://ci.manzanita.or.us/ https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88604523462?pwd=aMZvbhr5wgdsugGbjGbXdBr0ZVdmqc.1 mailto:laman@ci.manzanita.or.us

II. City Description Manzanita is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean, Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain, and state and private forests on the north Oregon coast, just two hours west of Portland. Manzanita is home to approximately 600 full time residents and 1,600 part-time homeowners, and it is a destination for visitors from around the world. City is a vibrant and complex city with an active and deeply engaged community.

City is organized around a main street with businesses serving the visitors and local community, including three grocery stores, a bookstore, restaurants, and many other varied retail establishments.

III. Project Background The Classic Street Road and Stormwater Improvement and Water Main Extension (the “Project”) is the top priority project in City’s Capital Improvement Plan and City’s Transportation System Plan. The Project has been a priority for City for nearly two decades. City received a state appropriation in the amount of $2.7 million dollars to implement the Project. The Project will directly serve approximately 120 units of income restricted housing currently in the development phase, and will ultimately support a total of 400 units, of various sizes, at full build out in the area known as the "Highlands." This is the last tract of undeveloped land in City’s urban growth boundary.

Currently, there is not sufficient fire flow/pressure to serve the area. The Project will divide a very large, looped water system by extending a trial water main for the commercial area south approximately 2400 feet, increasing available water flow to meet current/future fire flow standards for the Highlands, including the area where the 120 units are proposed. The Project will also provide critical redundancy and increasing resiliency within City’s water system by the addition of hydrants and the use of HDPE water main material.

The ultimate purpose of this Project is to provide necessary water infrastructure to unlock affordable housing in the Highlands, and allow for new housing development consistent with the new SB 406 Oregon’s Middle Housing Rules. In addition to the water system improvements, reconstruction of Classic Street is anticipated with the addition of storm water mitigation in the public right-of-way (“ROW”). City is currently conducting survey work to identify the ROW, utilities, and other information needed to promote a starting point and geo technical work to determine the extent of road reconstruction required for the Project.

There is also potential for up to a 10 foot easement on the eastern properties where it is anticipated that the water line will be placed. The ideal design will include a separate shared use path along the proposed 10’ easement. The design for the Classic Street will need to include traffic calming measures and should be consistent with the street cross-section requirements included in City’s transportation system plan (“TSP”).

Proposers are highly encouraged to visit https://ci.manzanita.or.us/public-works/ where they will find multiple documents to assist with understanding of City construction characteristics, design work, studies, and reports.

The Project is expected to go to bid January 2024 and should be completed by October 2025. The anticipated design window is September 2024 – December of 2024, and construction is anticipated to last until November 2025.

No addenda will be issued later August 19th, except an addendum, if City deems necessary, postponing the due date for proposals, withdrawing the RFP, or modifying elements of the RFP resulting from delayed process.

B. CONFIDENTIALITY

Pursuant to ORS 279C.107, City need not open proposals for public inspection until after execution of the contract(s) awarded under this RFP. Thereafter, City will not disclose records submitted by a proposer that are exempt from disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law, subject to the following procedures and limitations:
