The City of Everett is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from experienced engineering firms to provide consulting services for the replacement of a water standpipe at its Water Filtration Plant. The project involves conducting a siting and routing study for a new standpipe and associated pipeline, followed by full design services. The selected consultant will evaluate alternative locations, pipeline alignments, and construction approaches while considering environmental impacts, system resiliency, and operational efficiency. The scope includes geotechnical investigations, hydraulic analysis, preparation of design documents, cost estimates, and support during the bidding process. The project aims to replace aging infrastructure originally constructed in 1967 to ensure a reliable potable water supply and fire suppression capabilities. Additional responsibilities include project management, coordination with City staff, regulatory compliance documentation, and adherence to funding requirements associated with a Washington State Department of Health loan.
