The City of Redmond, Washington (the “City”) requests interested parties to submit Statements of

Qualification (SOQs) for the above referenced Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

Background

The City of Redmond, WA is a suburb of Seattle and hub for residential and employment growth due

to its strong technology business sector. The City encompasses an area of over 17 square miles and

is located less than 20 miles east of downtown Seattle. The City has three urban growth centers in

Downtown, Overlake, and Marymoor, which are expected to grow significantly in the next 20 years.

Today, the City has about 77,000 residents and 99,000 jobs and by 2050, it is expected to have

152,000 residents and 131,000 jobs. The City is interested in contracting with a qualified consultant

team to evaluate the long-term viability of maintaining this facility on its current site and to support

future capital planning decisions related to renovation, replacement, or other site strategies.

Project Goals

The City seeks a consultant team with demonstrated expertise in public safety facilities, occupied

and phased facility planning, essential facilities, code and site constraint analysis, and conceptual

cost estimating.

The goals of this project are to:

• Evaluate whether the existing Station 11 facility can feasibly be renovated on the current site

RFQ 10906-26 – Fire Station 11 Feasibility Study and Existing Site Options Analysis

• Evaluate whether a replacement or rebuild of Station 11 is feasible on the current site

• Identify major site, facility, operational, permitting, constructability, and continuity-of-service

challenges associated with each option

• Develop planning-level cost estimates for feasible options

• Determine whether the current site is suitable for long-term use as a downtown fire station

and headquarters facility

• Provide recommendations to help the City refine its capital planning assumptions, project

strategy, and next steps.

Desired Outcome

The desired outcome of this work is a decision-support feasibility study that provides the City with a

clear, professional evaluation of the opportunities, constraints, risks, and planning-level costs

associated with the future of Fire Station 11 on its existing site. The final product should help the City

determine whether renovation or rebuild is viable at the current location and identify recommended

next steps if the site is found to be unsuitable.
