Request for Proposals -- Evaluation of Raw Water Storage Alternatives and Dam Certification

The City of Warrenton (City) owns and operates a public drinking water system serving a population of about 7,000 people. The City has identified a need for additional raw water storage to respond to regional growth, climate change, and community demands. Currently, the City has a 16-million-gallon raw water reservoir and aims to increase this capacity to at least 30 million gallons.

The objective of this study is to evaluate an array of water storage alternatives or potential expansions and to achieve up to a 30% preliminary design. Additionally, the current dam is not certified, requiring collaboration with the Oregon State Dam Safety Program for certification and incorporation of dam safety requirements into the design and feasibility study. The City of Warrenton is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from firms or individuals capable of providing the city with project scoping services.
