CITY OF BREMERTON NOTICE TO CONSULTANTS FOR
6th Street Active Transportation Improvements
The City of Bremerton, Public Works, Engineering Division, is soliciting interest from consulting firms with
expertise in Civil and Traffic Engineering. This cost plus fixed fee or negotiated hourly rate agreement will be
for up to18 months in duration with the option for the City of Bremerton to extend it for additional time and
money if necessary. The City of Bremerton 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.
Background
The City of Bremerton is seeking to improve active transportation safety and connectivity through the addition
of continuous bike lanes along the 6th Street corridor and implementation of a road diet. The project is
anticipated to include a preliminary engineering phase, construction phase, and may include a right-of-way
phase. This solicitation is for the preliminary engineering phase of the project utilizing local funding. Future
project phases may utilize state and/or federal grants.
Project Description
The work to be performed by the CONSULTANT consists of developing plans, specifications, and estimates
(PS&E) for a full re-channelization of 6th Street. The project generally starts at existing bike lane
channelization east of the 11th Street / Kitsap Way intersection and ends at the 6th Street / Washington Ave
intersection. The re-channelization will include a road diet converting 6th Street to a 3-lane typical section with
continuous bike lanes. The general scope of work is anticipated to include, but is not limited to, the following:
survey, environmental permitting (SEPA/NEPA), traffic operational analysis, lighting analysis,
public/stakeholder outreach and design coordination, traffic equipment modifications, intersection
improvements, signing and channelization, roadway safety improvements, temporary traffic control, and
associated civil design and traffic engineering necessary to construct the improvements.
The project is not currently federally funded, however, federal funds may be incorporated into the project at a
later date. A voluntary 10% DBE goal is being established for the Preliminary Engineering phase. Please see
the City’s website, http://www.bremertonwa.gov/Bids.aspx, for additional supporting documentation related to
the project. Addenda to this solicitation, if required, will be posted to the City’s website 2 weeks prior to the
SOQ due date with no formal notification process. The City of Bremerton reserves the right to retain the
services of the successful firm for any subsequent project phases (such as Right-of-Way and Construction Phase
