REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

FOR

ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR

STORM DRAIN MASTER PLAN UPDATE

FOR THE CITY OF REDDING

Schedule Number: 5676

I. INTRODUCTION

The City of Redding Public Works Department is soliciting proposals to provide

professional engineering and hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) services to prepare an

update of specific drainage basins within the Montgomery Watson City-Wide Master

Storm Drain Study (Project). It is the intent of the City to hire a qualified consultant who

can provide hydrologic and hydraulic modeling culminating in updated hydrology models

and associated hydraulic models for the Canyon Hollow, Oregon Gulch, Olney Creek,

Bonnyview Drain, and Churn Creek Basins, Storm Drain Study Report and associated

floodplain mapping.

The City currently maintains drainage basin model developed using HEC-1, which utilizes

the preprocessor named FLOW, and HEC-RAS. These models require updates to reflect:

 Recent land-use and impervious surface changes

 New topographic data

 New or rehabilitated stormwater infrastructure

 Requirements from regulatory agencies (FEMA, Caltrans, etc.)

The updated models will be used to support floodplain map revisions, mitigations project

development, and emergency management.

On October 7, 2025, Council accepted and budgeted $1,000,000 in Federal funding for the

Project. The CDHCD – MIT grant provides $900,000 funding for design services that

includes consultant and staff design support. The successful consultant must be aware of

the financing limitations and be able to provide a clear plan for delivering documents that

meet the project goals within the aforementioned budget constraints.

The purpose of the storm water master plan update will be to fully analyze the drainage

basins using updated City contour data and area development since the Montgomery

Watson Study and the 2004 model update of the above-mentioned drainage basins.

A Consulting and Professional Services Contract (CPSC) is expected to be awarded in May

2026 and the scope of work to be completed by October 31, 2027. The period to complete

the work will be negotiated with the successful consultant. The City intends to select a

single consultant (team) for all aspects of the work necessary to complete all tasks of the

scope of work. Any consultant responding to the RFP must be willing to commit the

necessary resources to complete the work within a mutually agreed upon schedule.

II. GENERAL

In order for the consultant to be considered qualified, the firm or team must demonstrate

experience in project management, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, familiarity with

FEMA NFIP regulatory requirements, experience developing or updating city-wide

drainage basin models, and the ability to manage large datasets, GIS-based modeling, and

1D/2D flood simulations. Interested consultants are invited to submit qualifications in

accordance with the requirements of this Request for Proposals (RFP).

All work shall meet City of Redding standards for hydrologic and hydraulic modeling in

accordance with the current City of Redding Construction Standards

(https://www.cityofredding.gov/government/departments/public_works/engineering/const

ruction_standards___handouts/index.php), City of Redding Hydrology Manual, and the

requirements contained herein.

and other data gathered from meeting with staff.

 Related Capital Improvement Program (CIP) completed and planned projects.

 As-built culvert information

 LiDAR data

Task 3: Survey

The Consultant shall provide survey services, as necessary, to support the development and

refinement of the hydrologic and hydraulic models. Survey efforts shall be targeted and

limited to locations where existing data is insufficient for reliable modeling.

Survey tasks may include, but are not limited to:

 Collection of channel and overbank cross sections required for hydraulic and floodplain

modeling.

 Survey of bridges, culverts, and other drainage structures, including relevant geometric,

structural, and hydraulic features.

 Establishment of horizontal and vertical control consistent with City and applicable

regulatory standards.

 Integration of surveyed data into the hydraulic and floodplain models developed under

Task 4.

The Consultant shall coordinate proposed survey locations and limits with the City prior to
