Introduction

King County utilizes consultants for Architectural and Engineering (A&E), Professional, and Technical services.

Requests for Proposals (RFP's) or Requests for Qualifications (RFQ's) are advertised in local papers and posted on this Web Site. Occasionally they are combined into a single RFP/Q. Access Solicitations (A&E and Prof. Services/Open) for the latest advertisements. To determine the status of RFP's & RFQ's after the due date, access either Solicitations (A&E and Prof. Services/Closed) or Solicitations (A&E and Prof. Services/Awarded).

Each Terms and Conditions (T&C) document represents the contract boilerplate that will be used for the indicated contract type in design ("E") and professional service ("P") contracts without alteration except for the County's selection of appropriate alternate language. These T&C's will not be used for technical/non-professional services ("T") contracts.

To access County's Architectural & Engineering (A&E) T&C's, please choose from the following links:

  • A&E Standard Contract Terms and Conditions (229KB PDF) (standard, non-federally funded, effective for all proposals received after January 18, 2008)
  • A&E Work Order Contract Terms and Conditions (340KB PDF) (work order, non-federally funded, effective for all proposals received after March 22, 2008)
  • Note: For federally funded procurements, County will use the 2008 A&E Standard Contract Terms and Conditions and include additional federal requirements.

The County will develop T&C's for other federally funded contracts when needed.

Contract duration varies from a few weeks to several years. Many contracts are for complete design services on a single project. Others may be for environmental reviews, traffic analysis, mediators or a wide range of professional services. Some smaller A&E contracts (under $150K) are solicited from Consultants on our A&E Roster. Go to Consultants >> A&E Roster for more information.

Please review the various menu items on this site for additional information.
