CITYWIDE CONSULTANT ROSTER SOLICITATION: Conservation and Environmental Issues Consulting

The City of Seattle is conducting a Citywide Consultant Roster Solicitation for Conservation and Environmental Issues Consulting, seeking to establish a comprehensive roster of qualified consultants across multiple environmental service categories. These categories include Natural Resources, Environmental Assessment, Energy Conservation, Environmental Management, Electrical Energy Management, Field Sampling, Forestry Services, Bioengineering, Geotechnical Services, Recycling and Sustainability, Water Conservation, Water Quality Protection, and Diving services. Consultants must demonstrate at least three completed projects in their respective service categories and provide a detailed Statement of Qualifications that outlines their skills, experience, and key personnel's professional licenses and certifications. The solicitation's timeline includes a roster application release date of September 2, 2025, with a question response deadline of December 1, 2030, and a final response submission deadline of December 30, 2030. The roster cycle will run from December 15, 2025, to December 31, 2030, with the City reserving the right to contract with approved roster consultants for projects estimated to cost below $410,000.

The solicitation is specifically targeted at "small business concerns" as defined by the Small Business Administration's size standards, with non-profit organizations explicitly excluded from the roster program. Each city department will be limited to using an approved roster consultant up to $819,000 per year in a specific category. While roster approval does not guarantee any contract or work, selected consultants must meet specific licensing and insurance requirements when chosen for a specific contract. The City maintains significant flexibility in its selection and contracting process, allowing for a dynamic approach to procuring environmental and conservation consulting services. Consultants will need to carefully review and comply with all requirements, understanding that the roster is designed to create a pre-qualified pool of expertise that the City can draw upon for various environmental projects, with the ultimate goal of supporting the City of Seattle's conservation and environmental initiatives.
