RFQ 150th Avenue NE Improvements

The City of Redmond, Washington, is soliciting qualifications from consulting firms under this Request for Qualifications for design services on the 150th Avenue NE Improvements project (Project Number 2324), with qualifications due November 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. A voluntary Small Business Enterprise goal of ten percent of the consultant agreement applies, and no federal DBE goals apply because the project includes no federal or state aid requirements.

The successful consultant team will prepare a design report, permits, plans, specifications, and estimates to widen 150th Avenue NE in the vicinity of the 4600 Block for new on-street bicycle lanes that fill gaps between existing lanes, and will add a new RRFB crossing. Services run through preliminary design (30%), final design (60% and 90%), permitting, and advertising, and include survey work, underground utility verification, geotechnical investigation for retaining walls, stormwater analysis, and right-of-way acquisition and management led by the consultant. Consultants must submit an SBE Participation Plan and obtain a Redmond business license. The consultant must carry professional liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence, with the City and Agency named as additional insureds. The selected firm will enter a Local Agency A&E Professional Services Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement. Compensation covers negotiated hourly rates for direct labor, indirect costs, and fee, plus reimbursement of direct non-salary costs such as travel and printing.

The estimated construction cost is $1.3 million to $1.8 million, locally funded through Community Facilities District 2016-1 in the amount of $2.971 million. Shortlisted consultants will be notified December 7, 2026, with interviews scheduled for the week of December 14, 2026. Contract award is anticipated in March 2027, and construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2028. Submittals are limited to 15 pages in PDF and must be emailed to mross@redmond.gov with the project and company name in the subject line.
