The Port of Bellingham (the Port) is soliciting responses from qualified and experienced engineering consulting firms to this Request for Professional Services (RFPS) to assist the Port with development and implementation of a maintenance plan for interim use of the GP wharf (wharf and pier) for marine use. Work may include field data collection, design, permitting, and development of bid documents for a formal public works project or projects. Future work may include public works bid support, construction administration, and/or construction management. Full RFPS documents are available on the Port of Bellingham's website at https://www.portofbellingham.com/bids.aspx.

The approximate project area and site recommendations are shown in the Facility Condition Assessment Report (Appendix A).

The goal of this project is to identify, prioritize and perform maintenance and repairs necessary to maintain this facility in good working order for the near future.

The selected respondent team should plan on completing the following tasks as determined by the Port:
