Community Based Private Public Partnership (CBP3) Consultant - Sewer Maintenance

The City of Spokane’s Wastewater Management Stormwater Program is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or firms to provide consultation services for the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at establishing a Community Based Private Public Partnership (CBP3). The primary goal is to facilitate the construction of a regional stormwater facility through collaboration between community stakeholders, private sector partners, and the city. This initiative is supported by a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology, emphasizing the importance of adhering to federal requirements and environmental policies throughout the project. The selected consultant will assist in designing the RFP, engaging community and private sector partners, and developing a performance-based contract template, with the overall project timeline spanning approximately 1.5 years, with potential for renewal. The procurement process involves detailed contractual and compliance considerations, including adherence to terms and conditions outlined in the city’s RFP documentation, which covers issues such as proprietary information, nondiscrimination policies, business registration, and dispute resolution. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the city’s ProcureWare portal by August 18, 2025, with key project milestones including a pre-proposal meeting and phased development activities such as stakeholder engagement, location assessment, and financial analysis. The contract size is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the scope and significance of the project. Supporting documents include specific terms and conditions, a lobbying certification form to ensure compliance with federal regulations, and a detailed process flow chart that guides the phased development of the RFP and associated contractual documents.
