This file contains California Public Contract Code Section 4104.5, which establishes bidding procedures for public works and improvements governed by the State of California, and relates to an Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department (OCSD) Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architect/Engineer (A/E) Architectural Services. The statute mandates that bidding agencies must specify the location and time for receiving bids from prime contractors in the bid invitation and public notice. If material changes, additions, or deletions are issued to the invitation later than 72 hours prior to the bid closing, the bid deadline must be extended by a minimum of 72 hours. The OCSD RFQ seeks qualified firms to provide A/E architectural services for various projects under a usage contract with Orange County. Statements of Qualifications must be received by 2:00 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time on October 23, 2026. All questions and requests for interpretation must be submitted by October 9, 2026 at 3:30 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time through the County's online bidding system at OpenGov (SOQ: 060-2730-RFQ-AE-JC).

The RFQ documentation references a detailed Scope of Work provided as Attachment A and includes a Model Contract with Attachments and Exhibits. All official communications concerning the RFQ will be provided solely through or approved by OCSD, and respondents are prohibited from contacting other County personnel with questions or clarifications. Technical assistance for the OpenGov platform is available through customer support. The document does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract term details in the sections provided.
