This is an Architectural/Engineering Request for Qualifications (ARFQ) Form issued by the West Virginia Purchasing Division (GSD) for the IBEX Building Electrical Installation project. The document establishes the framework for selecting qualified architectural and engineering firms to provide professional services for electrical installation work at the IBEX building. The ARFQ solicits qualifications from interested firms, requiring submission of relevant experience, project capabilities, staffing qualifications, and technical competence specific to building electrical systems. Firms are expected to demonstrate prior experience with similar electrical installation projects, including commercial or institutional buildings. The response process follows a two-stage selection methodology, with the initial qualification submission followed by potential interviews or presentations by shortlisted firms. The specific response deadline, site visit opportunities, and final award date are established within the ARFQ documentation to ensure a structured and competitive selection process.

The ARFQ is issued under the General Services Division procurement procedures and applies to West Virginia state purchasing requirements. Selection will be based on demonstrated qualifications, relevant experience, team composition, and technical approach to electrical installation services rather than on price proposals at the initial qualification stage. The contract will be awarded to the firm(s) deemed most qualified to execute the electrical installation scope of work. Any applicable set-asides, such as small business or disadvantaged business enterprise participation, are governed by West Virginia procurement regulations. The funding source and budget allocation for the IBEX Building electrical installation project are established through the state's capital improvement or building project authorization.
