The City of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is requesting qualifications from qualified Consultant Teams to provide construction management and inspection support services and act as an SPU Resident Engineer on an on-call, as needed basis. Support will be expected on both Capital Improvement Projects and Non-Capital Improvement Projects. The majority of this work will address the unpredictable and sporadic nature of construction work and will also serve as a gap measure when staff are out of the office for long durations. Clarification Deadline
