Water Resources Engineering On-Call Services

The Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District ("UFSWQD" and "District"), seeks written proposals from qualified vendors able to provide water resources engineering services on an on-call, task order basis. Work may include analysis, inspection, sampling, cost estimation, drafting, design and engineering, modeling, or development review support services.

The District intends to award up to two (2) On-Call Price Agreements as a result of this RFP with a shared total amount of **$600,000**.

Actual services performed pursuant to any contract awarded under this RFP will be on a task-by-task basis and will be requested by District in a written task order. Each task order will contain a detailed statement of work, performance schedule, and maximum level of compensation.

Some projects under the service agreement are funded in part with a financial award from the Special Public Works Fund – Levee Grant Fund, funded by the Oregon State Lottery and administered by the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority.

The selected consultant(s) will provide professional water resources engineering services on an on-call basis in support of the District's projects.

Individual assignments will be authorized through task orders and may include, but are not limited to, the following services:

• Planning, analysis, and design for small conveyance improvement projects and/or stream/habitat enhancement projects (e.g., floodplain restoration, wetland enhancement or restoration, and natural flood storage). Examples include culvert/pipe rehabilitation, hydrologic investigations, water quality studies, and design of flow control structures, open channels, and stream/habitat enhancement projects.
• Planning level studies that include hydrologic and hydraulic modeling.
• Field survey, inspections, water quality sampling, and/or flow monitoring of the conveyance system.
• Condition assessments of stormwater culverts/pipe and open channels.
• Development reviews affecting the drainage conveyance system.
