Manholes include standard precast concrete, brick, and cast-in-place junction structures with varying corrosion protection materials. Inspectors must hold OSHA trenching and excavation certification and confined space training certification. The consultant must have a National Association of Corrosion Engineers Level III inspector on staff or as a subconsultant for manhole coating inspections. Use of UNIFIER, an Application Service Provider web-based project management database, may be required.

The City will conduct a qualifications-based selection process with no formal interviews and expects to notify selected teams in late October 2026, with a scope meeting scheduled for early November. The evaluation criteria are design experience of the prime firm (150 points), CA&I experience of the prime firm (150 points), design experience of key personnel and subconsultants (125 points), CA&I experience of key personnel and subconsultants (125 points), project understanding and approach (300 points), staffing information for key personnel (150 points), and reference checks (21 points). Statements of Qualifications are limited to 10 pages, submitted electronically in PDF format through the City's Procurement Portal.
