RFQ 240th St & 35th Ave SE Intersection Improvements Project

The City of Bothell, Washington is requesting qualifications for consulting firms to perform preliminary engineering design and provide construction-phase engineering support for the 240th Street & 35th Avenue SE Intersection Improvements Project, with submittals due September 17, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. PST. No set-asides apply; the project carries a voluntary Small Business Enterprise goal of 10 percent and zero percent DBE and Federal SBE goals.

The scope encompasses full-depth reconfiguration of a four-way stop intersection into a single-lane roundabout with center and splitter islands, utility relocations and adjustments, illumination, shared-use paths, sidewalks, ADA-compliant features including ramps, bike paths, landscaped planter strips, fish passage culvert extension, stream design, signage, pavement restoration, and pavement delineation. The consultant must also prepare environmental documentation and permitting support.

The contract will be negotiated on an hourly rate basis and is funded through local and Federal sources, subject to Federal Equal Employment Opportunity requirements and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The estimated contract term is approximately six years, running from November 2026 through December 2032, with an option for the City to extend for additional time and money. The City reserves the right to retain the successful firm for subsequent phases, including right-of-way and construction.

Evaluation criteria are qualification of the proposed Project Manager, firm qualifications and expertise, ability to meet schedule, approach to the project, familiarity with WSDOT/FHWA/Bothell standards, and past performance and references. Submittals must not exceed ten pages and must include firm name, contact information, Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager names, and the number of proposed employees. Short-listed consultants will be announced September 24, 2026; consultant interviews are scheduled for October 5–8, 2026, with final selection and notification on October 15, 2026.
