Northwest Consultants, Inc.

NCI has prepared preliminary engineering and feasibility studies identifying the existing conditions and the future needs for interstate corridors, interchanges, state & local routes, bridges, public utilities, and highway rest stops. Our team is experienced in identifying and evaluating conceptual alternative solutions, and the benefit/cost associated with each alternative as well as making a recommendation on what we believe is the most favorable alternative.

Deliverables typically include Alternative Analysis Report or Scoping Document, preliminary drawings, construction cost estimates, and a final design phase scope of work. Furthermore, after the study phase is complete, we can provide final detailed design, final plans, and right-of-way plats and descriptions. We have provided preliminary engineering duties such as the following:
