City of Bremerton Request for Qualification Oyster Bay Regional Treatment Facilities The City of Bremerton is soliciting Statements of Qualification from consulting firms with expertise in Civil and Stormwater Engineering Design for the Oyster Bay Regional Treatment Facilities project. Project Description This project will design stormwater treatment facilities certified by the Washington State Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology (TAPE) program to treat the 81.5-acre Oyster Bay urban drainage basin within city right-of-way near the intersection of Kitsap Way and Oyster Bay Ave. The project will advance the existing concept design to the 90% complete level and will obtain required permits and approvals for work that is conducted within the Oyster Bay shoreline zone. A 90% design package will be prepared including engineering plans, cost estimates and specifications along with an addendum to the existing Design Report. The project includes completion of all cultural and environmental reviews, permitting and approvals needed to meet federal, state, and local requirements. This includes preparation of a JARPA form and supporting documents (Biological Assessment, Mitigation Plan, Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Survey), SEPA checklist, Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP), and Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SSDP) application (including associated Habitat Management Plan/Mitigation Plan/No Net Loss Analysis Report). Permits will be obtained from the City of Bremerton (SSDP and SEPA), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (HPA), and Corps of Engineers (Nationwide Section 404 Permit). Approval from the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNS) for activities on state tidelands will also be obtained for retrofit of the existing degraded outfall. The project is funded by a Department of Ecology grant and local match funds.
