A/E Services for a New Courthouse and Feasibility for Repurposing Existing Courthouse

Patrick County and Chatham Town in Virginia are requesting proposals for architectural and engineering services to conduct a feasibility study for a new courthouse facility and evaluate options for repurposing the existing courthouse under RFP 20260521, with proposals due June 23, 2026.

The scope encompasses two primary components: a comprehensive feasibility study assessing the viability, cost implications, and functional requirements of constructing a new courts facility, and an evaluation of adaptive reuse alternatives for the existing courthouse building. The selected A/E firm will deliver detailed analysis and recommendations to support the jurisdictions' capital improvement decision-making regarding the courthouse facility's future direction.

Addendum 1 to RFP 20260521, issued June 9, 2026, modifies the original RFP requirements and must be acknowledged in all proposals. The addendum emphasizes relevant experience with courthouse projects, feasibility studies, and adaptive reuse or repurposing initiatives, and reinforces compliance with Virginia procurement regulations. Cost proposals must align with the revised scope elements detailed in the addendum. The addendum specifies bonding and insurance minimums required for contract execution and addresses pricing considerations and qualification standards for responding A/E firms.

Prospective bidders must review all RFP documents for detailed specifications regarding scope deliverables, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements. The addendum maintains the original submission deadline while incorporating enhanced technical and administrative requirements. All terms outlined in the addendum supersede conflicting provisions in the original RFP document.
