Subcontracting Opportunity: City of Bend’s Southwest Sewer Improvement Phase 3, Project No. 1SSW3

Parametrix is seeking qualified subconsultants to provide civil engineering design and right-of-way services for the City of Bend’s Southwest Sewer Improvement Phase 3, Project No. 1SSW3. The project aims to address sewer system deficiencies in southwest Bend by extending a gravity mainline trunk sewer to unsewered areas, facilitating the conversion of properties from private septic systems to public sewer. Key technical components include gravity mainline extensions, the decommissioning of residential pump stations in the Romaine Village area, the installation of service laterals, and potential transportation improvements such as roadway reconstruction or intersection upgrades. The project is funded through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund administered by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, with a total proposed budget of $3,875,000 covering both design and construction phases. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City of Bend eProcurement Portal by September 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The City will evaluate submissions based on project understanding and approach, project team qualifications, and firm experience, with an optional interview component. Specific formatting requirements include a 12-page limit for the main proposal and a 4-page limit for appendices, with a minimum font size of 11 points. Required documentation includes a signed Statement of Assurances and Certifications and a Good Faith Efforts Certification. The City encourages participation from minority, women-owned, emerging small, and veteran-owned businesses. The project is targeted for advertisement for construction services in the fall or winter of 2027.
