About this opportunity
The City of Waco is requesting qualifications for Architect & Engineering Services under RFQ 2025-038, with an initial submission deadline of August 1, 2026 and rolling acceptance through April 1, 2027. The procurement establishes a prequalified vendor pool for on-demand engagement through subsequent mini-RFQs and project-specific RFPs rather than a single competitively bid contract.
Vendors must be licensed or registered to practice in Texas and free of conflicts of interest with the City. Mandatory submissions include a Qualification Form, Sample Contract Agreement with Terms and Conditions, Drug-Free Workplace Act Certification, and Disclosure Forms addressing conflicts of interest and charter compliance. Pricing is not submitted at the qualification stage; vendor selection will follow Texas Government Code Chapter 2254 governing design professional services.
The City will evaluate submissions on a published periodic schedule and reserves the right to extend timelines and modify procedures. Selected firms will be placed on an approved prequalified vendor list but participation does not guarantee contract awards, compensation, or payment. The City retains the right to procure services from non-prequalified vendors if specialized project requirements necessitate it.
Submissions may be made electronically through the City's Bonfire portal (waco-texas.bonfirehub.com/login) or in paper format (one original and four copies plus one electronic copy on CD or flash drive) to the Purchasing Services Office, 1415 N. 4th Street, Waco, Texas 76707. Final contract awards exceeding $50,000 require City Council approval; smaller contracts may be executed by the City Manager or department heads.
