The City of Bainbridge Island is soliciting qualifications from utility planning and engineering firms to support a comprehensive update to the City's Design and Construction Standards and Specifications. These standards establish the character, materials, products, process and procedure for improvements installed within the City's rights of way or within the City's maintenance responsibilities throughout the jurisdiction. They consist of 10 technical design chapters and 70+ standard drawings/details. The City anticipates this body of work will include, at a minimum, the following: Evaluation of existing Standards technical chapters to identify gaps, inconsistencies and opportunities for improvements in clarity and content. Revise and reorganize the technical chapters in conjunction with input from City staff. Evaluation of existing standard drawings to identify revisions to both content and format. Using COBI CAD standards, create AutoCAD drawings for each detail, a standard title block, and a modifiable drawing template for future use by COBI staff. Convert/standardize the existing drawing set with potential additions and deletions to the sheet set based on input from City staff, either utilizing existing standard details from other jurisdictions modified as necessary for Bainbridge Island or else creating new ones. Provide procedure and process to allow future revisions and updates to the technical text and drawing set. A final production of the City's Design and Construction Standards and Specifications in both a searchable PDF format and an HTML format compatible with the City's website.
