RFQ/Stormwater Asset Management Plan

The City of Chattanooga is seeking proposals to develop a Stormwater Asset Management Program (SW-AMP) aimed at proactively managing its stormwater infrastructure. The program's primary objectives are to identify, map, and establish a comprehensive plan for all stormwater assets under the city's jurisdiction, ensuring they deliver appropriate service levels to residents. Additionally, the program will focus on optimizing lifecycle costs by tracking necessary upgrades, repairs, and maintenance activities. Given the extensive scope of the city's stormwater assets, the project will be implemented in phases, starting with a pilot program through this initial RFQ, with future phases planned to expand the asset management efforts. The contract, with an estimated value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, is managed by the City of Chattanooga’s Public Works Department’s Stormwater Division. The selected consultant will report directly to the department’s project managers and operate under their guidance. The solicitation, posted on April 15, 2025, with a deadline for responses on May 2, 2025, is open to qualified firms under NAICS code 541511. Interested parties can contact Debbie J Talley via email for further details. The project emphasizes a phased approach to asset management, leveraging a pilot program to establish foundational processes for comprehensive stormwater infrastructure management across the city.
