5938 Chamber Creek Bridge Replacement

The Pierce County Planning & Public Works – Office of the County Engineer Division is seeking consulting firms with expertise in Civil and Structural Engineering Design for the replacement of the Chambers Creek Bridge. The project involves designing a new bridge to replace the existing one, which was built in 1946 and has minimal shoulder widths and no pedestrian facilities. The new bridge must be designed to accommodate future conditions following the removal of the Chambers Creek Dam and must include features such as pedestrian crossings, parking, and utility relocation. The project also involves environmental permitting, mitigation, and restoration. The selected firm will provide preliminary and final design engineering services, including project management, coordination with other teams, and communication with stakeholders. • Roadway, parking lot, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements related to the new bridge • Demolition plan for the existing bridge • Structural design for the proposed bridge and walls required for the bridge abutments and roadway approaches • Stormwater collection and treatment facilities • Pedestrian crossing enhancements and roadway illumination requirements for new pedestrian crossings and parking to improve access to the adjacent Chambers Creek Canyon trail system • Utility design for the new bridge and temporary utility bypasses during construction • Environmental permitting and mitigation • Communication and engagement with tribes, interested parties, and the community
