Open RFQs (Request for Qualifications)

PORT OF PORT TOWNSEND
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Rural Light Industrial Park at Jefferson County International Airport
Port of Port Townsend Project No. AP-01-15

The Port of Port Townsend (Port) is requesting a Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified engineering firms interested in providing engineering design services for a Rural Light Industrial Park at Jefferson County International Airport (JCIA) Project.

The Port of Port Townsend is seeking to attract new businesses to Jefferson County and allow existing businesses to expand in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.  The Industrial Park will be situated on a 24-acre parcel on the southeast corner of the Port’s JCIA property, and will feature eleven (11) one-acre “pad-ready” sites served with the full range of infrastructure necessary to support rural light industrial development, including:  three-phase power; an internal loop road; native vegetation in both a central greenspace together with perimeter buffering; pockets of shared on-street parking; shared driveways and truck manoeuvring areas; stormwater detention; vegetated bioretention areas for stormwater treatment; community septic drainfield; and water service.

The successful Consultant team will refine and finalize a previously prepared concept plan prepared for the industrial park, advance utility and site engineering to a 90% level (including an engineer’s estimate of probable construction costs) and obtain necessary development permits.  The project deliverable will position the Port to seek grant funding for project construction.  Key elements of the detailed design documents prepared by the Consultant will include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Civil Engineering infrastructure drawings to include water, sewer, and stormwater design
  • Site Plans and lease plans to lay out 11 one-acre sites showing adequate setbacks and compliance with Jefferson County Unified Development Code (UDC) standards
  • Site access drawings to show International Fire Code and Jefferson County Engineering standards compliance for fire water supply, site access and driveways, including required turn-arounds
  • Plans that demonstrate compliance with the Jefferson County On-site Sewage System codes and standards
  • Development of design and construction standards that meet the intent of the Port’s vision of establishing a low impact rural light industrial park with environmentally sensitive construction methods and operational guidelines
  • Coordination with the Port’s Aviation Consultant to ensure that FAA standards and guidelines are followed
  • Coordination with and support of the Port’s Environmental/Permitting Consultant in the securing of county, state and federal permits

The Port of Port Townsend reserves the right to retain the selected firm at the Port’s sole discretion. The Port anticipates but has not yet secured future federal funding to support the final design and construction phase of this project.

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.
