RFQ- Middle Fork Water & Sewer System Water System Plan Update

Lewis County Public Works (County) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified consulting firms to prepare an updated Water System Plan (WSP) for the Middle Fork Water & Sewer System (MFWS), a small Group A community water system. The WSP will guide operations, capital improvements, and financial planning over the next 10–20 years and will be prepared in accordance with Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-290-100 and all applicable Department of Health (DOH) requirements. MFWS’s last WSP was completed in 2005. Since that time, the system has experienced infrastructure aging, rising operational costs, and limited rate adjustments. A current, DOH‑approved WSP is required for compliance and to restore eligibility for state and federal funding programs and justifiable rate adjustments. This project is funded by Lewis County .09 (‘Distressed Counties’) Grant funds per Resolution 25-294 and RCW 82.14.370. The final contract amount will be negotiated with the selected firm.
