Helmholtz Improvements (SW Quartz to SW Obsidian)-Design

The City of Redmond, Oregon, is soliciting engineering and design services for a new single-lane roundabout at the intersection of SW Helmholtz Way and SW Obsidian Avenue, along with associated water utility improvements including a 16-inch water transmission main extension, stormwater facilities, ADA-compliant pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, traffic control measures, utility relocations, and surface restoration. The project aligns with the City’s Transportation System Plan and Water Master Plan and has an estimated budget of $4,700,000. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bid Locker portal by 2:00 PM PT on June 9, 2026; late submissions will not be considered, and no faxed or emailed proposals are accepted. Hard copies are permitted only if arranged in writing with the Single Point of Contact at least two business days prior to the deadline. The solicitation, numbered TR2409, is classified as a Request for Qualifications with no price proposal required, emphasizing best-value trade-off selection based on technical merit rather than cost. Evaluation criteria are weighted heavily toward project understanding and approach (500 points), followed by project team qualifications (250 points), experience and quality of service (250 points), and an optional presentation or interview (1000 points), with mandatory pass/fail compliance on certifications being a disqualifying factor if not met.

Offerors must submit signed certifications under Oregon law, including civil rights, disability compliance, worker’s compensation, and debarment status, along with resumes limited to four pages total and a project design schedule. Key personnel must be identified with resumes, organizational charts, and proof of local availability, and subcontracting requires prior written approval from the City. The vendor is subject to criminal background checks, a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy, and must certify no conflicts of interest, including prohibitions on providing construction services for the same project. All proposal materials must be bound, marked “Not Subject to Public Disclosure,” include redacted versions for proprietary data, and adhere to strict 18-page limits for the main body using 11-point font or larger.
