Explanation
Storm Water Services constructs surface water quality enhancement and green stormwater infrastructure projects to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff before it is discharged into creeks. Many creeks do not meet state water quality standards, and these projects aim to improve surface water quality conditions.
These contracts will be used to:
Evaluate the feasibility of and provide design services for surface water quality enhancement and green stormwater infrastructure projects, and
Support evaluations and improvements of existing city-owned stormwater control measures.
On June 9, 2026, the city issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 18 responses were received.
The companies selected best meet the city’s needs in terms of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services in response to the RFQ requirements.
At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $1,800,000.
