1 INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 INVITATION TO PROPOSE
The City of Pasco, Washington, (City) Department of Public Works – Engineering is soliciting a Statement of
Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified Consultants registered in the State of Washington to perform Engineering
Services for the Road 76 Overpass (Fed Aid No. STBGUL-0960(006)) Project funded through the 2025 Surface
Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program and Local Funds.
The Road 76 Overpass Project is prepared for final design and is supported by preliminary engineering and
community engagement documentation.
The City of Pasco, along with DKS and KPFF, completed 15% conceptual design, which outlines the core project
geometry, typical cross-sections, and multimodal components. The preliminary concept ensures a slow-speed,
fully ADA-compliant facility that prioritizes the active transportation experience across I-182. This design includes
the separation of vehicular and non-vehicular traffic via buffered mixed-use paths and sidewalks, directly
addressing the safety concerns cited by the community. This information is available for review and viewing as
detailed in this RFQ.
The Road 76 Overpass will extend Road 76 north from Chapel Hill Blvd to Burden Blvd by constructing an
overpass across I-182. It requires mandatory access break approval from FHWA to extend the bridge over the
interstate. Key components include bicycle and pedestrian facilities, a new signalized intersection at Road 76 and
Burden Boulevard (with northbound right and southbound left turn lanes), and a realignment of Burden Boulevard
to accommodate future access to western commercially zoned properties. The future west leg of this intersection
will become a Burden Blvd extension and will tie to Flores Lane in the future.
The preferred vertical profile raises Road 76 to achieve the AASHTO minimum 16.5 feet of clearance over I-182.
The design utilizes maximum 5% grades to ensure ADA-compliant active transportation facilities and 40 mph
vertical curves for adequate sight distance. The structure is a three-span pre-stressed girder bridge, integrating a
12-foot shared-use path on the west side and a 6-foot sidewalk on the east side. On the structure, the path is
separated by a barrier, and the sidewalk is curbed tight.
The selected cross-section includes two (2) 11-foot travel lanes, allowing flexibility for a future center turn lane if
development requires it. Infrastructure work includes the installation of the traffic signal at the realigned four-leg
Burden Boulevard intersection, complete ADA curb ramps, marked crosswalks, and comprehensive ITS
implementation (vehicle detection, FYAs, push buttons, interconnect, and lighting). The project includes survey,
geotechnical investigation, stormwater facilities, utility work, pedestrian facilities, landscaping and irrigation,
signage and pavement marking.
Public outreach has been completed over the past three years, but further engagement is planned for the design
phase. Funding for Design and Right-of-Way (ROW) was secured in 2025 via the Surface Transportation Block
Grant (STBG) program. The City is actively working to secure 100% of construction funds by 2029, construction
obligation date is contingent upon securing construction funding. The design phase is anticipated to take twenty-
one (21) months, beginning in July 2026. All ROW acquisitions must be completed by September 2029, and
construction funding must be obligated by November 2029.
The work to be performed will include but is not limited to preparation of PS&E including design of the project,
preparation of the plans and specifications in compliance with local, state, and federal requirements and an
estimate of construction costs, right-of-way (ROW) acquisition and certification, and construction support services
and inspection. This includes topographic surveying and/or property surveying, geotechnical investigation,
WSDOT/FHWA coordination, preparation and processing of all necessary environmental documents to achieve
environmental compliance, public outreach and stakeholder involvement, grant preparation, WSDOT ROW
access permits, ROW acquisition and certification services, bid support, construction management/administration
services and inspection, and record drawing preparation. The City, at its discretion, may select the same
Consultant for Right-of-Way Acquisition and Certification, and Construction Management and Inspection Services.
