Proposers must submit a joint Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from both an Architect and CMAR team; however, the Town intends to execute two separate contracts—one with the Architect and one with the CMAR. A mandatory pre-submittal conference is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM Arizona MST at the Civic Center Conference Room 330. Electronic SOQ submissions are due by Monday, June 1, 2026 at 3:30 PM Arizona MST through the Bonfire procurement portal.

Project funding is contingent upon voter approval in the November 2026 general election, with a full project budget of $30,000,000. Should voters not approve, the project will proceed as an Aquatic Center only with a committed budget of $16,000,000. The Town's Project Manager/Construction Manager is Kitchell CEM, Inc. The selected team must address potential funding risk through design activities that could allow for reduced project scope after November 2026. The Architect must be a Registered Professional Architect in Arizona and provide all design services under direct professional supervision with certifications and stamps on all drawings and specifications. The CMAR must be duly licensed, bonded, insured, and registered in Arizona. All work shall comply with Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-603 governing professional services procurement. The selection committee will evaluate submittals based on the established criteria and either select the best-qualified team without interviews or select not fewer than three firms to proceed to interviews.
