INTRODUCTION The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from firms qualified and interested in providing Final Design Consultant Services for the Lynnwood Link Extension, Northgate Station to Lynnwood Transit Center project. The project is an 8.5 mile extension to Sound Transit’s (ST) current light rail transit system that will begin at Northgate Station in the northern part of the City of Seattle north of the Northgate Transit Center and terminate at the Lynnwood Transit Center in the City of Lynnwood. The project will essentially follow the route of Interstate 5 (I-5) and be primarily within the I-5 transportation corridor. This will follow the east side of I-5 for approximately 5.8 miles from Northgate to the Mountlake Transit Center. It will then cross I-5 to the west side and continue north along the west side of I-5 for the remaining 2.7 miles into the Lynnwood Transit Center. The project will be fully grade separated with approximately four miles on aerial structure guideway and approximately 4.5 miles of retained cut or fill guideway. There will be four passenger stations. Two will be located in the City of Shoreline; an elevated station at NE 145th Street and a retained cut station at NE 185th Street. One elevated station will be located in the city of Mountlake Terrace in the site of the current Mountlake Terrace Transit Center. One elevated station will be located in the city of Lynnwood at the current Lynnwood Transit Center. The project delivery method for the Lynwood Link Extension project will utilize a GC/CM contracting approach in which the Final Design Consultant Services will be performed with the participation of the GC/CM contractor(s) in value engineering, constructability review, scheduling, estimating, risk assessment and other pre-construction services under a separate contract(s) with Sound Transit.
