NOTICE
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Waterwalk & Sea Level Rise Project (closed June 29, 2023)

The Port of Port Townsend (Port) is requesting a Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified engineering firms interested in providing engineering services for the Waterwalk & Sea Level Rise Project.

The Port continues with a laser focus upon repairing, maintaining, and improving the Boat Haven Boatyard for future generations to use, enjoy and prosper. However, the reality of reoccurring flood events is an existential threat to essential community facility. Two of the highest tides ever recorded occurred in the calendar year of 2022, with the December 27, 2022 king tide event breaking historical records. Roadways, storm drains, and other infrastructure were all underwater during this event; ramps to the docks at the Boat Haven Marina reversed direction and required an uphill walk to go down the docks. With rising sea levels, climate modeling indicates we must prepare for more king tide events.

Phase 1 of this project will consider alternatives, determine feasibility, preliminary alignment, design elevation, cost estimates, right-of-way constraints, community engagement, and probable permitting pathways all in support of pursuing funding opportunities to support future project development phases that include detailed design, permitting, PS&E, bidding, and construction. The limits of the first segment of this project will extend from the bluff at west end of the Boat Haven to the bluff near the intersection of Water Street and East Sims Way. A key component of the project is integration of a pedestrian Waterwalk with the sea-level rise structure. The Waterwalk aims to fulfill the vision in the City’s Shoreline Master Plan (Policy 7.3.5). When complete, the first segment will protect the City’s “Flats District.”

Please see the complete request for qualifications, what your SOQ must include, and the evaluation criteria here:

Please submit an electronic copy of your SOQ in Adobe.pdf format to: Joanna Sanders, Port Administrative Assistant, at joanna@portofpt.com no later than 2:00 PM on June 29, 2023.
