Required services include forensic investigation, design, bidding, construction administration, and project close-out for building envelope and roofing projects. The selection process is two-phased, with Phase 1 involving a Statement of Qualification evaluation worth 100 points and Phase 2 consisting of Oral Interviews also worth 100 points. Consultants must submit their qualifications by March 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT, with an informational meeting scheduled for March 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM PT via Microsoft Teams.

The state explicitly encourages participation from small businesses, minority and women-owned businesses (MBE/WBE), and veteran-owned businesses. While there is no guaranteed minimum number of projects or amount of fees, the maximum value for any project-specific agreement is capped at $300,000 and limited to a single project. Fees will be negotiated using the OFM Guidelines for Determining Architect/Engineer Fees for Public Works Building Projects, effective July 1, 2025. To participate, consultants must register in the DES Bonfire Hub for proposal submission and are recommended to also register in Washington's Electronic Business Solution Application (WEBS). The procurement covers an extensive list of jurisdictions, ranging from large counties like King and Pierce to smaller municipalities and census-designated places, indicating a broad potential scope of work across Washington state. Consultants should be prepared for a competitive selection process that evaluates technical expertise, past performance, and demonstrated capabilities in building envelope and roofing consulting services.
