Continuing_Contract_Architects_-_Current_Design_Contracts.pdf

This document is a Continuing Contracts listing from the Marion County Public Schools (MCPS) Facilities Department for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, detailing pre-qualified design professional firms across four engineering and architectural disciplines. The document lists 15 firms divided into four categories: 5 Architects (including Monarch Design Group, LLC and Partin Architecture Co.), 3 Civil Engineers (including Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.), 3 MEP Engineers (including DDC Engineering, Inc.), and 3 Structural Engineers (including Miller Engineering, LLC). These firms are pre-selected to provide ongoing design services for district infrastructure and construction projects.

The continuing contracts represent a strategic procurement approach by MCPS to maintain a pool of qualified design professionals for future school district projects, with each potential project valued at no more than $7.5 million. The contract structure allows for one-year agreements with potential annual extensions, enabling the district flexibility in project assignments. The selection process considers factors such as project team qualifications, methodology, timeline, cost controls, and past performance, with provisions that provide additional considerations for minority-, woman-, or small-business enterprises. The document demonstrates the district's commitment to maintaining a diverse and competent group of design service providers to support ongoing educational infrastructure development.
