SDOT Bridge Planning Studies

The City of Seattle's Department of Transportation (SDOT) is seeking qualified consultants to develop Type, Size, and Location (TS&L) reports for upcoming bridge planning efforts. These reports aim to evaluate potential bridge replacements and support the city's efforts to secure future funding partnerships, with a focus on designing infrastructure that ensures safe and predictable travel for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and freight vehicles accessing key services and employment centers. The solicitation emphasizes that this phase is strictly planning-oriented, but if additional funding is obtained, there is an option to advance to a 30% design phase for one or multiple projects. The city may consider awarding subsequent phases, including the 30% design, to the same or different consultants based on performance and funding availability, with separate agreements potentially established for each phase. The qualification submissions are due by 4:00 pm on March 20, 2025, and questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted through the designated e-procurement portal by March 13, 2025. The contract size is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and the project is managed by the Seattle Department of Transportation in Washington. Interested firms can find additional details and submit responses via the provided online portal, with Rebecca Swaney serving as the primary contact for inquiries.
