RFQQ Project Schedule Extension

In March 2013 HCCC issued a request of qualification and quotation (RFQQ) for various (GIS, wetlands, cultural and historic properties, environmental site assessment, eelgrass and macroalgae habitat survey), engineering and geological on-call support services.  Selections of firms responsive to the RFQQ were made in May 2013. The RFQQ stated that the project schedule for on-call services would be up to three years with the possibility of extension of up to five years.  HCCC is announcing that it will extend the project schedule for on-call services for the five year period, ending in May 2018. HCCC will reevaluate the need for on-call services in early 2018 and publish a RFQQ as needed. Contact Patty Michak with any questions, e-mail: pmichak@hccc.wa.gov or phone 360 930 8634.
