The City of Spokane is procuring a consultant to design and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) that will establish a Community‑Based Private Public Partnership (CBP3) for a regional storm‑water treatment facility. The effort is divided into three phases: outcomes analysis and site selection, financial and legal framework development, and finally drafting the CBP3 RFP and a performance‑based contract. The work includes community outreach, financial modeling, legal authority summarization, and creation of performance metrics tied to outcomes such as storm‑water treatment capacity and cost‑effectiveness. The contract is funded by a Washington State Department of Ecology grant and runs for 1.5 years (with a possible one‑year extension). The City will award the contract via full and open competition; the selected vendor is Environmental Incentives, Inc.
• Scope: outcomes analysis, site screening, financial & legal studies, and preparation of a detailed CBP3 RFP and performance‑based contract.
• Timeline: proposal due Aug 18 2025, work to commence Sep 1 2025, contract term 18 months (optionally extendable 12 months).
• Budget: $247,213 (as disclosed in Addendum 1) with a preferred Time‑and‑Materials pricing approach.
