CITYWIDE CONSULTANT ROSTER: Transportation Consulting

Solicitation CTY-CR-2025-10 establishes a Citywide Consultant Roster for Transportation Consulting for the City of Seattle, covering the period from 2026 through 2030. The program allows city departments to contract with qualified consultants for specialized services without a formal advertised competitive process, provided the individual contract value is below 410,000 dollars. The scope of work encompasses several specialized categories, including roadway design, transit planning, intelligent transportation systems, parking management and analysis, marine surveyor services, and bicycle, pedestrian, or recreation facilities. Approval for the roster is based on a pass/fail evaluation of minimum qualifications, professional licenses, and relevant experience. Once approved, consultants may be selected for projects via direct selection, informal solicitation to a subset of the roster, or informal solicitation to the entire roster. The City emphasizes small business opportunities, noting that if 15 or more small business concerns qualify within a specific category, that category will be restricted to small businesses only. Additionally, consultants are expected to seek the inclusion of woman and minority-owned businesses for subcontracting. Contractors must maintain a Washington state business license and provide required insurance coverages, including vehicle liability and workers compensation, naming the City of Seattle as an additional insured. Compliance with Seattle municipal ordinances regarding minimum wage, wage theft, and paid sick and safe time is mandatory. Payment is issued within 30 calendar days of receiving a compliant invoice. The response deadline for this qualification request is December 30, 2030, with submissions required through the City's electronic procurement portal.
