The city is soliciting qualifications from architectural firms to provide professional architectural services on an as-needed basis, with firms expected to have extensive experience in municipal architectural work, including comprehensive knowledge of State and Local Building Codes, ADA requirements, roofing standards, and Connecticut State Department of Education guidelines.

The solicitation emphasizes the need for firms to be familiar with state and government funding requirements and guidelines, and to comply with municipal, state, and federal affirmative action and equal employment opportunity practices. Minority-owned firms are specifically encouraged to submit qualifications, either independently or through joint ventures. Participating firms must provide a detailed statement outlining their organizational structure, including clear definitions of proposed sub-consultants, subcontractors, joint ventures, and any parent or subsidiary relationships. The RFQ aims to establish a pool of qualified architectural service providers who can be engaged for various municipal projects as needed.
