RFQ - 2026 Hydrologic, Hydraulic, and Geomorphic Services

Lewis County Department of Public Works (County) is soliciting Statements of Qualification (SOQs) from qualified consultant firms who wish to be evaluated and considered to provide Countywide Annual Hydrologic, Hydraulic, and Geomorphic Services. The consultant will provide professional services as County projects are scheduled or as circumstances emerge that require expertise in professional hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic services.

This will include but is not limited to upcoming Rural Arterial Program (RAP) funded projects, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded projects, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded projects, and Lewis County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects. The agreement(s) will be for two (2) years in duration with an option to extend for an additional year by mutual agreement. The agreement amount is not anticipated to exceed $350,000.

If necessary, the agreement may be supplemented for additional time and/or compensation by mutual agreement. The selected CONSULTANT will be expected to enter into a Local Agency A&E Professional Services (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) Consultant Agreement.

Lewis County reserves the right to amend the terms of this “Request for Qualifications” (RFQ) to circulate various addenda, or to withdraw the RFQ at any time, regardless of how much time and effort consultants have spent on their responses.

The County has no scheduled projects requiring hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic services, although we often have emergent projects as flooding occurs.

In addition to potential emergency projects, FEMA projects, RCO projects, and possible HUD projects, projects listed in our current Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that may require hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic services will be included in this request. The current Lewis County TIP is available for review at https://lewiscountywa.gov/departments/public-works/transportation-improvement/ .
