Parcel 132 and Parcel 94 Triangle Cleanup
A. PURPOSE
The PORT is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from highly Qualified
Environmental Professional (QEP) teams interested in providing professional
Environmental and Civil consulting services to assist the Port with planning, permitting,
surveying, design, and constructions services for the Parcel 132 and Parcel 94 Triangle
Cleanup Project.. The PORT anticipates awarding one (1) Professional Service contract.
The anticipated period of performance of the contract is three (3) years from the execution
of the contract, extension of the contract is at the sole discretion of the PORT, for a
possible total of four (4) years.
The successful respondent may be precluded from competing for, or participating in,
subsequent contracts that are the direct result of or primarily generated by, the work
performed under the contract resulting from this procurement.
Interlocal Cooperation Act-RCW 39.34 allows cooperative purchasing between public
agencies, and other political subdivisions. If a public agency files or has filed an
Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the Port of Tacoma, those
agencies are eligible to purchase from Contracts established by the Port. Such agencies
may ask Port of Tacoma Contractors to accept orders from the agency, citing the Port of
Tacoma contract as the basis for the order. The Contractor may accept or decline such
orders. If the Contractor accepts an order from another public agency using the Port of
Tacoma contract as the basis, the Contractor agrees to sell additional items at the
contract prices, terms, and conditions. The Port of Tacoma accepts no responsibility for
the payment of the purchase price by other governmental agencies.
B. GRANT FUNDED
Partial funding of this project is being provided by the Environmental Protection Agency.
All terms and conditions included in the grant agreement between the Port of Tacoma
and Environmental Protection Agency are fully incorporated into the agreement with the
Firm (Attachment C).
C. BACKGROUND
Created by Pierce County citizens in 1918, the Port of Tacoma is a major center for
container cargo, bulk, break-bulk, autos and heavy-lift cargo. To learn more about the
PORT, visit www.portoftacoma.com.
Parcel 132 is located at the gateway of the greater Port of Tacoma Maritime Center
master planning area just across the 11th Street Bridge from downtown Tacoma. The
Port purchased this property in December 2023, as a further investment in the master
planning area, and more broadly to support the continued redevelopment along the Thea
Foss Waterway. Parcel 132 is a 0.91-acre brownfield site located at the gateway to the
Port Maritime Center Area. Environmental investigations identified contaminated soil and
localized groundwater impacts associated with historic industrial uses, including lumber
treatment, a historic warehouse fire, and heavy-equipment storage. The contaminated
RFQ

soils restrict use to industrial activities. Parcel 132 and the adjacent Parcel 94 Triangle
are currently vacant and are proposed for redevelopment for maritime trades-related
uses. Future development opportunities include additional education and training
facilities, business incubator space, additional office space for maritime logistics and
supply companies, commercial and retail spaces, green spaces, and public amenities.
The cleanup and redevelopment of Parcel 132 and Parcel 94 Triangle will help catalyze
the next phase of the Maritime Center project.
The Port proposes to cleanup Parcel 132 and the adjacent portion of property to the south
(Parcel 94 Triangle) to prepare both properties for the next phase of the Maritime Center
project. Cleanup planning is expected to support unrestricted use standards so that
engineering controls, such as fencing, are not required for future non-residential uses.
The Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives evaluated No Action, Capping, and
Excavation with Offsite Disposal. Excavation with Offsite Disposal is the recommended
cleanup approach because it permanently removes contaminated soil, eliminates long-
term exposure pathways and maintenance obligations, and best supports redevelopment
objectives.
Tentative construction for the Parcel 132 and Parcel 94 Triangle cleanup project is
anticipated to occur during the summer of 2028. This schedule is preliminary and subject
to refinement based on completion of cleanup planning, design, permitting, grant and
regulatory coordination, procurement, and other project delivery considerations.
The PORT’s Standard Terms and Conditions are included with the Sample
Professional Services Agreement (Attachment B) to this RFQ. By submitting a
SOQ, the Firm represents that it has carefully read and agrees to be bound by the
PORT’s Standard Terms and Conditions. Identify during the question submittal and
response period, any sections you consider onerous, clarify why you consider
these sections onerous, propose alternative language and describe why it is in the
PORT’s best interests to adopt the alternative language.
RFQ

SOQs submitted with altered or conditioned Terms and Conditions without prior
written agreement from the PORT will be considered non-responsive and not
considered for evaluation.
Firms submit SOQs understanding all contract terms and conditions are
mandatory. Response submittal is agreement to the Contract without exception.
The PORT reserves the right to negotiate changes to submitted SOQs and to
change the PORT's otherwise mandatory Contract form during negotiations. If the
Firm is awarded a contract and refuses to sign the attached Contract form, the
PORT may reject the Firm from this and future solicitations for the same work.
Under no circumstances shall Firm submit its own boilerplate of terms and
conditions.
