Fire Station 11 Feasibility Study and Existing Site Options Analysis
The City is soliciting Statements of Qualification from experienced architectural and

located on its existing site in downtown Redmond.

Statements of Qualification Due: May 1, 2026, at 2:00PM (PST)
The City of Redmond, Washington (the “City”) requests interested parties to submit Statements of
Qualification (SOQs) for the above referenced Request for Qualifications (RFQ).
Background
The City of Redmond, WA is a suburb of Seattle and hub for residential and employment growth due
to its strong technology business sector. The City encompasses an area of over 17 square miles and
is located less than 20 miles east of downtown Seattle. The City has three urban growth centers in
Downtown, Overlake, and Marymoor, which are expected to grow significantly in the next 20 years.
Today, the City has about 77,000 residents and 99,000 jobs and by 2050, it is expected to have
152,000 residents and 131,000 jobs. The City is interested in contracting with a qualified consultant
team to evaluate the long-term viability of maintaining this facility on its current site and to support
future capital planning decisions related to renovation, replacement, or other site strategies.
Project Goals
The City seeks a consultant team with demonstrated expertise in public safety facilities, occupied
and phased facility planning, essential facilities, code and site constraint analysis, and conceptual
cost estimating.
The goals of this project are to:
• Evaluate whether the existing Station 11 facility can feasibly be renovated on the current site
RFQ 10906-26 – Fire Station 11 Feasibility Study and Existing Site Options Analysis

• Evaluate whether a replacement or rebuild of Station 11 is feasible on the current site
• Identify major site, facility, operational, permitting, constructability, and continuity-of-service
challenges associated with each option
• Develop planning-level cost estimates for feasible options
• Determine whether the current site is suitable for long-term use as a downtown fire station
and headquarters facility
• Provide recommendations to help the City refine its capital planning assumptions, project
strategy, and next steps.
Desired Outcome
The desired outcome of this work is a decision-support feasibility study that provides the City with a
clear, professional evaluation of the opportunities, constraints, risks, and planning-level costs
associated with the future of Fire Station 11 on its existing site. The final product should help the City
determine whether renovation or rebuild is viable at the current location and identify recommended
next steps if the site is found to be unsuitable.
