RFP On-Call Architectural & Engineering Consultant Services Roster

The City of Lynnwood, Washington is requesting qualifications for an on-call architectural and engineering consultant services roster with proposals due September 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Local Time. The roster will support any combination of six service categories: Permitting & Inspection Services, Development Engineering Services, Long Range Planning & Outreach Services, Current Planning Services, Critical Areas Permit Review, and Economic Development Services.

Proposers must demonstrate expertise interpreting the Lynnwood Municipal Code, International Codes, Washington State law, and applicable regulations specific to their service areas. The RFP does not establish fixed pricing; instead, services will be executed through individual task orders at the City's discretion based on need. This is an on-call structure with no estimated total contract value stated.

Evaluation is scored at 50 points on written submissions: cover letter (5 points), organization chart (5 points), project team resumes (15 points), and references demonstrating relevant municipal on-call services experience (25 points). Pre-proposal questions are due September 8, 2026, with the City providing responses by September 11, 2026. The City has scheduled proposal evaluation for September 21, 2026, with estimated interviews of finalists on September 24, 2026 and contract execution on September 28, 2026. Proposals remain valid for 90 days after the due date unless extended by agreement.

Contractors must obtain a City of Lynnwood Business License, comply with insurance requirements, provide W-9 forms, and meet all equal employment opportunity and federal, state, and local legal compliance standards. All proposals become public documents after contract award under the Washington Public Records Act. The City reserves the right to award one or more contracts and is not obligated to select the lowest-priced proposal or accept any proposal deemed non-responsive or from a non-responsible proposer.
