Mechanical Plans Engineer, Senior
What this bid is
Seattle's Department of Construction and Inspections wants a senior mechanical plans engineer under request for qualifications CI026-RFQ02. The work is reviewing mechanical and energy system plans for new construction and alterations, focused on controversial, large, or complex projects and new technology. That includes advanced HVAC design, electrification, and energy-conservation approaches. The engineer would also give expert guidance on how the mechanical and energy codes are interpreted, to city staff, designers, and the public. Energy modeling experience and familiarity with Total Building Performance reports are noted as useful.
Responses are due 20 November 2026 at 5:00 PM PST. Submissions go electronically through the City's OpenGov portal, which requires a free vendor account. Questions are due 13 November 2026 at 5:00 PM PST through the same portal. A pre-proposal conference is set for 12 November 2026 at 10:00 AM PST as an online meeting. The notice calls this conference non-mandatory, but BusyBids' filing note flags it as mandatory, so check the portal before relying on either reading.
The city decides who is selected. The notice attaches a city-wide standard roster consultant agreement. Contact Bradley Wilburn, Land Use Manager, at bradley.wilburn@seattle.gov or (206) 615-0508.
