Welcome! King County is pleased to announce an upcoming RFQ/RFP for selection of a Design-Build contracting team for the Harborview Medical Center (HMC) Maleng Building Single Patient Rooms Project.  

Harborview Medical Center (HMC) is one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, and the only Level 1 Trauma Center serving a 4-state region (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Washington). HMC is owned by King County, managed by the University of Washington, and governed by an appointed Board of Trustees.  

Scope and Budget

This project will convert two existing outpatient clinic floors in the HMC Maleng building into inpatient units, providing up to 40 new single patient rooms.  Also included is renovation of two floors of the nearby HMC Ninth and Jefferson Building (NJB) to allow relocation of the existing Maleng outpatient clinics. Design and construction budget is estimated at $50-$55 million.  

This project is funded separately from the Harborview Bond projects. Consultants and contractors (prime and subs) selected for this project will not be precluded from participating in the County’s upcoming Harborview Bond Program contracts.

Procurement 

Progressive Design-Build is the alternative delivery contracting process the County has applied for through the Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) - where the designer and contractor are selected as a team rather than separately.  Please navigate to https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=39.10 to learn more about Design-Build procurement. 

King County’s application, pending approval from the Project Review Committee (PRC), is located at https://des.wa.gov/about/boards-committees/capital-projects-advisory-review-board/project-review-committee 

The Preliminary agreement is expected to be awarded to a team consisting of a prime contractor and lead design firm. Once selected, there will be abundant subcontracting opportunities for interested sub-consultants, sub-contractors, and suppliers as the Design-Builder assembles its team.   

Potential sub-contracting opportunities include but are not limited to:

Equity and Social Justice  

King County is committed to advancing Equity and Social Justice (ESJ) & sustainability goals. The County’s commitment to pro-equity contracting focuses on increasing minority- and women-owned business participation, as well as workforce development on County construction projects.  

To promote the County's pro-equity values, this contract will feature the ESJ Innovation plan and the following goals and requirements have been established for the Harborview Medical Center (HMC) Maleng Building Single Patient Rooms Project:
