Complete PS&E Engineering Design Package and Services Consultant Scope of Work Summary Planning and Public Works – Surface Water Management (PPW-SWM) 1428 128th ST E – Northeast (NE) Quadrant Setback Revetment Project

Project Overview, Purpose and Primary Goals

The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to retain a consultant to develop, prepare, and provide complete engineering design construction Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) and other associated services for the Northeast (NE)Quadrant Setback Revetment project.

The NE Quadrant Setback Revetment is located along McCutcheon Road East on the east side (right bank) of Puyallup River, north of 128th Street East (approximately between river miles 15.8 and 16.7).

The length is approximately 3,600 Lin-Ft.

See attached project Site Vicinity Map for visual reference. Also attached is a Setback Conceptual Map exhibit of the NE Quadrant Setback project. The conceptual map exhibit is from the completed 128th Street East Comprehensive Setback Levee Feasibility Study, dated May 2023.

The primary goals of the proposed project are to provide flood risk reduction, increase and improve aquatic habitat, and water quality benefits.

Major scope of work tasks for the NE Quadrant Setback Revetment includes a Delivery Strategy Plan.

This is a plan that addresses how the design, property rights, funding, permitting, and construction are progressed for the NW, SW, and NE Quadrant setback projects. This may include all three setback quadrants advancing together and times where a specific quadrant may accelerate forward. The delivery strategy will also need to include identification of potential setback alternatives in the Southeast Quadrant area and a recommended preferred alternative. The recommended alternative will need to be included in the hydraulic modeling for the NE, SW, and NW Quadrant setback projects.

See Attachment 1 for the PPW-SWM Stage Gate Delivery Process.

The NE Quadrant Setback Levee/Revetment project will progress the full setback levee/revetment alternative (Identified from the completed 128th Street East Comprehensive Setback Levee Feasibility Study, dated May 2023). The feasibility study can be viewed via this link: 128th ST E Comprehensive Setback Levee Feasibility Study

Other associated tasks for the project include hydrologic and hydraulic modeling basis of design reports, geotechnical evaluation and investigation, preparing property acquisition plans, providing stakeholder and public outreach support, preparation of and providing completed FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) application(s) with associated required hydraulic modeling, documentation, and other associated task items.

It is assumed that the FEMA CLOMR review and approval for the NE Quadrant Setback project will also include the SW and NW Quadrant Setback projects, rather than obtaining separate CLOMRs for each of the quadrant setback projects.

It is also assumed that the FEMA CLOMR and associated modeling data for the Planning and Public Works Office of the County Engineer (PPW-OCE) Rhodes Lake Roads Corridor (RLRC) project will be the basis for the SW, NE, NW, and SE Quadrant Setback projects to build from. As of September 2026, FEMA has not issued a CLOMR for the RLRC project.

Meetings with FEMA and the Pierce County Floodplain Administrator will be required to determine and establish an approved approach and submittal to obtain a FEMA CLOMR respective to the NE, SW, NW, and SE Setback projects and the RLRC project CLOMR.

The NE Quadrant revetment is envisioned to be comprised of an engineered bio-revetment (that may include toe and some facing rock), engineered log jams, other wood and fish habitat features, plantings, maintenance and operation access measures, existing levee removal, and other associated elements.

While the design phases may progress concurrently, Pierce County has obtained most known property rights for this phase, allowing the NE Quadrant to be able to accelerate into construction. The SW and NW Quadrant setback projects will require property rights, which is expected to require additional time with construction to lag one or more years behind.
