Lewisburg, PA — The City of Williamsport, in partnership with the SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG), is advancing critical flood mitigation and infrastructure resilience efforts through the release of professional services procurements associated with the Williamsport Levee project.
The City is seeking qualified firms through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering and design services and a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction engineering oversight and inspection services. These procurements represent an important step toward the continued rehabilitation and long-term reliability of the Williamsport Levee system, a key piece of infrastructure that protects residents, businesses, and public assets.
Both the RFQ and RFP are being advertised concurrently and follow the same schedule. Proposals are being accepted electronically, and submissions are due Feb. 18, 2026, at 4 p.m.
“This project reflects the City’s commitment to proactive flood risk reduction and responsible infrastructure investment,” said Valerie Fessler, Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development in Williamsport. “By engaging qualified engineering professionals early in the process, we are positioning the project for long-term success while maintaining transparency and compliance with federal and state requirements.”
The Williamsport Levee project is supported through FEMA Legislative Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant funding and is being administered in coordination with SEDA-COG to ensure adherence to all applicable procurement, environmental, and grant compliance standards.
Procurement documents are available at https://seda-cog.org/request-for-proposals/ and will be shared through SEDA-COG’s social media channels. Interested firms are encouraged to review the materials carefully and submit any questions in accordance with the published timelines.
