Overview

Summary

Lewis County is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified consulting firms with expertise in providing professional geotechnical engineering consulting services for the year 2025 (January 25 – December 31). The consultant will provide geotechnical services as County projects are scheduled or as circumstances emerge that require professional geotechnical engineering services.

This will include but is not limited to upcoming Rural Arterial Program (RAP) funded projects, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded projects, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded projects, and Lewis County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects. All work is required to comply with all federal provisions, WSDOT, AASHTO, Lewis County requirements and regulations.

Lewis County is interested in entering into an A/E services contract with one geotechnical engineering firm to provide consulting services, and subsequently be asked to prepare specific proposals (task orders) for more than one project. The work will be conducted on an individual task order basis, according to each project scope. Each task order shall be authorized in writing by Lewis County prior to execution of the work and be negotiated based on an Actual Costs Plus a Fixed Fee agreement. All work will support design and construction projects anticipated by Lewis County Public Works.

Lewis County desires to have a consulting firm available for a variety of geotechnical tasks associated with various Lewis County projects, and the selected consultant for this contract will be expected to perform services related to drilling, testing, geotechnical design, and construction observation services on bridges, culverts, roads, trails, and other public works projects. Projects include:

• Replacement culvert and wingwall foundation design.
• Unanticipated slide evaluations for qualifying events using federal or state funding during the contract period.
• Local access road slide evaluations with County funds during the contract period.
• Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) bridge foundation evaluation and design
• Rockery and gravity block wall design.
• Evaluation of recently completed geotechnical alternatives analysis and design of slide repair recommendations including, but not limited to; soil nail walls, shear pile wall, infill buttress, etc.

Lewis County Public Works reserves the right to amend terms of this “Request for Qualifications” (RFQ) to circulate various addenda, or to withdraw the RFQ at any time, regardless of how much time and effort consultants have spent on their responses.

Interested firms should submit a statement of qualifications stating your ability and availability to complete this work in accordance with this notice. Lewis County is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. Disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned firms are encouraged to submit statements.
