About this file
This is an Addendum to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ2027000001) issued by the State of Colorado for architectural and engineering services related to Building Stabilization and CMHHIP Buildings Phase 1 of 2. The project involves the prequalification and selection of an A/E firm to provide design services for building stabilization work. Key timeline milestones include a mandatory pre-submittal conference and tour on August 4, 2026 at 11:00 am, a clarifications deadline of August 7, 2026, prequalification submittals due August 21, 2026, short list announcement on August 28, 2026, oral interviews scheduled for the week of September 9, 2026, and selection announcement on September 15, 2026. Contract negotiation is anticipated to begin October 7, 2026, with design work commencing October 14, 2026 and construction running from March 2027 through December 2027.
The RFQ requires that the prime respondent be a qualified architect or engineer licensed in Colorado, as a general contractor cannot serve as the prime contract holder for A/E services. While there is no minimum self-performance requirement, the intent is for the prime A/E firm to perform substantial work rather than serve as a pass-through entity. Minimum design experience and historic preservation qualifications may be satisfied through combined team experience rather than requiring the prime respondent to independently meet all criteria. Specific experience with History Colorado, the Colorado State Historical Fund grant process, and preparation of Historic Structure Assessments is highly preferred. Attendance at the mandatory pre-submittal conference is required of the prime A/E firm itself, not satisfied through subconsultant attendance.

2. If a qualified A/E firm serves as the prime respondent and Southern Mesa is listed as a subconsultant, does Southern Mesa’s attendance at the 1st mandatory conference satisfy the attendance requirement for the proposed team, or must the prime firm itself have attended and signed in?
Since this RFQ is to acquire an A/E, the prime A/E firm will need to attend and sign in.
3. Does this RFQ require the prime respondent to perform a minimum percentage of the services using its own employees? We have heard that some government contracts require 30% self-performance, but we do not see that requirement in the RFQ or sample agreement.
No. There is no self-performance requirement for an A/E. However, the intent is for the prime A/E to do the heavy lifting and not just be a pass-through entity.
4. May a general contractor serve as the prime respondent and contract holder if all regulated architectural and engineering services are performed and sealed by qualified Colorado-licensed subconsultants?
OSA requires that all professional A/E services (whether self-performed or sub consulted) be performed under the direct supervision of an architect or engineer actively registered and licensed in the state of Colorado. So, a general contractor cannot be the prime respondent and contract holder for A/E services.
5. May the minimum design-experience and historic-preservation qualifications be satisfied through the combined experience of the proposed team, or must the prime respondent independently meet them?
Yes, the combined experience of the proposed team satisfies the requirement. The prime respondent does not need to independently hold all specialized historic preservation credentials in-house.
6. Would Southern Mesa’s participation as the prime consultant affect its eligibility to compete for the future construction contract?
Southern Mesa does not qualify as an A/E. However, Southern Mesa may be eligible as a general if an A/E would like to get them on board.
7. Correction: X. Evaluation of Qualifications
1. Project Team 10th bullet down Specific experience working with History Colorado, and navigating the Colorado State Historical Fund (SHF) grant process, including the preparation of formal Historic Structure Assessments (HSAs), is highly preferred.
