PUBLIC NOTICE City of Fife Request for Qualifications for Design Associated with 58th Avenue East and Valley Avenue East Roundabout Project The City of Fife is soliciting statements of qualifications from professional engineering firms interested in providing engineering design services, obtaining required environmental permits, and Right of Way (ROW) planning and acquisition for the City of Fife 58th Avenue East and Valley Avenue East Roundabout Project. The anticipated duration of the work is 48 months with the option for the City of Fife to extend for additional time and money, if necessary. The estimated completion dates for 100% design and ROW are September 2028 and September 2029, respectively. This federally funded project has EEO, ADA, and Civil Rights requirements that must be adhered to. This Project has a 16% DBE goal. Project Description The consultant's work consists of preparing an engineering design to construct a single lane roundabout at the intersection of 58th Ave E and Valley Ave E, with the intent of providing traffic calming, safety, and mobility improvements for all travel modes. The roundabout will have an approximately 100-foot inscribed diameter with splitter islands on each approach. The center island will have a mountable apron to accommodate school and transit buses. The scope includes curbs and sidewalks at the intersection, sidewalk segments at intersection approaches, and bike lanes along Valley Ave E through the intersection. Each leg of the intersection will include a marked crosswalk with an island refuge that will allow pedestrians to cross one direction of traffic at a time. The intersection will include additional lighting, and the east and west leg crosswalks on Valley Ave E will include Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) systems.
