Background

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is requesting qualifications from Consultants to provide expertise in technical writing, editing and formatting for our Engineering Design Standards and Guidelines (DSG).

The intended final use of the product will be as individual PDFs loaded onto an internal City SharePoint site. Redacted versions will be published to a public facing web page. https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/construction-resources/standards-and-guidelines/design-standards-and-guidelines

This document began in 2008 and consists of 19 chapters with appendices. This document has been updated every 3 years and the total page count for the entire Design Standards is estimated to be in the 2000 page range. Each chapter is configured to develop a discrete set of standards and guidelines (including specifications, drawings, and design procedures) for various types of engineering services undertaken and/or managed by SPU’s Engineering & Technical Services Division. Each chapter has a subject matter expert (SME) assigned that is responsible for the content of their chapter. The SME will be responsible for editing their assigned chapter and appendices, and the selected consultant will check the grammar, readability, formatting and compliance with ADA accessibility requirements. New illustrations and exhibits may also be needed upon editing.

SPU plans to select one (1) Consultant to execute a single contract for this work. The estimated value for the contract is up to $250,000.
