No set-aside or preference applies. The Port "strongly encourages but does not require" participation by minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and small businesses. The source tags the opportunity to Clark County, Washington.

The scope covers project management and coordination, general environmental consulting, planning, and engineering. Consultants must support the Port's compliance with the Washington State Department of Ecology Industrial Stormwater General Permit, Construction Stormwater General Permit, and Ecology-issued State Waste Discharge Permit.

Required insurance is professional liability of $2 million aggregate and $1 million per claim, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, and automobile liability of $1 million.

The initial term runs through December 31, 2027, with the Port holding an option to renew for up to five additional one-year periods based on continued need, satisfactory performance, and funding availability. The Port guarantees no minimum work, task order count, or utilization, and assigns work only through approved annual work plans or executed task orders. Compensation is negotiated after selection on hourly labor rates, plus reimbursable direct non-salary costs at actual cost and subconsultant rates. The Port may award to one or more consultants at its sole discretion.

Evaluation assigns 35 points to team experience and qualifications, 35 points to understanding of Port needs and approach to on-call services, and 30 points to team management and availability. The source describes these criteria as equally weighted. Submittals are limited to 20 single-sided pages excluding cover materials and appendices and must exclude cost proposals.
