Engineering Services

The City of Silverton in Marion County, Oregon, is seeking proposals for comprehensive engineering services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued on January 8, 2024. The procurement will secure an Engineer of Record to provide on-demand, multidisciplinary engineering services including budgeting, planning, land use review, infrastructure design, construction management, permitting, grant writing, and project management. Proposing firms must be licensed engineers in Oregon with demonstrated expertise across civil, structural, transportation, and utility systems engineering. The RFP requires detailed submissions demonstrating the consultant's approach, project schedule, management control program, relevant experience, and understanding of municipal engineering requirements. Evaluation criteria will focus on the consultant's familiarity with applicable standards, responsiveness, past performance, and hourly rates. Proposals are due by February 8, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with initial evaluation scores to be announced on March 11, 2024. The anticipated contract term is three years, with potential for two additional three-year extensions, and services will be rendered through task orders on an as-needed basis.

No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements were explicitly detailed in the provided documents. The RFP does not mention incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. Pricing will be negotiated on a task order basis, with consultants charging hourly rates against developer deposits. The original RFP estimated approximately 80 hours of monthly engineering services, which was subsequently reduced to 40 hours per month in Addendum #2. While precise budget ranges were not specified, the contract structure suggests a flexible, demand-driven compensation model. The scope encompasses various municipal engineering projects, potentially including wastewater treatment plant upgrades involving transitions from facultative lagoon to conventional activated sludge systems and changes in filtration technologies. Interested firms should be prepared to provide comprehensive engineering support across multiple municipal infrastructure and development domains.
