Classic St Road and Stormwater Improvementsand Water Main Extension

The City of Manzanita is seeking professional engineering services for the Classic Street Road and Stormwater Improvement and Water Main Extension project through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued on August 1, 2024. The procurement targets civil engineering firms with expertise in multi-modal street design, traffic calming, and infrastructure resilience planning. The project's primary objectives include extending a water main, reconstructing Classic Street, and implementing stormwater mitigation measures, which are top priorities in the city's Capital Improvement Plan and Transportation System Plan. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting will be conducted via Zoom on August 14, 2024, with an optional on-site meeting on August 15, 2024. Proposal submissions are due by 5:00 PM on August 22, 2024, with the city evaluating firms based on their demonstrated experience in civil design, life safety integration, and ability to support affordable housing development. The selected firm will be responsible for professional engineering services and construction administration, with the overall project expected to be bid in January 2024 and completed by October 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Windsor Engineering has been identified as the intended contract awardee based on proposal evaluations and interviews. The project has secured a $2.7 million state appropriation and is designed to directly serve 120 units of income-restricted housing, with potential to support up to 400 units at full build-out. While a specific contract value is not detailed, the substantial state appropriation suggests a significant budget for the engineering services and infrastructure improvements. The project spans Tillamook County and involves infrastructure enhancements in the Mcminnville City area, with a focus on creating critical water infrastructure to enable affordable housing development. Interested firms should demonstrate comprehensive experience in civil engineering, infrastructure design, and the ability to integrate complex municipal infrastructure improvements.
