Streetscape Phase II Project 0810-2026

The City of Washington, North Carolina, is requesting Statements of Qualifications from design and construction administration firms for Phase II of the Downtown Streetscape Project under RFQ 0810-2026, with submissions due September 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. No set-asides or local-vendor preferences are specified.

The scope encompasses design services (50%, 75%, and 100% completion construction documents), cost estimating, bidding assistance, and full construction administration and observation across three sub-phases: Market Street from 2nd Street to Main Street, Market Street from Main Street to Water Street, and Main Street from Bridge Street to just before Gladden Street. Services include submittal reviews, tree tagging and selection, field reporting, weekly site visits, payment application reviews, and punch list preparation. The project requires coordination of existing utility service relocations between the consultant, City staff, and construction contractors. Qualified firms must demonstrate previous experience managing similar streetscape projects in comparable communities and provide a minimum of two references from community leaders and staff with direct working relationships. Any firm unable to meet the construction timeline — beginning by November 2027 and completion by December 31, 2028 — is disqualified.

Evaluation is scored across three criteria: 10 points for experience, 10 points for capacity, and 5 points for references. Questions must be submitted in writing by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 4, 2026. Submissions should be directed to Angela Flowers, City of Washington Purchasing Department, 203 Grimes Road, Washington, NC 27889, via email to aflowers@washingtonnc.gov or hand-delivered/mailed. No contract value, contract term, or funding source is disclosed.
