Architectural and Engineering Design Services for Camarillo City Hall Renovation

City of Camarillo, California is soliciting proposals for architectural and engineering design services to advance its City Hall Renovation from schematic design through construction documents, permitting, and bid support. The voluntary pre-submission meeting is November 16, 2026 at 10:00 AM PST at Camarillo City Hall, and proposals are due December 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM PST via PlanetBids. A firm selected under this solicitation may not propose on or serve as a subconsultant under the concurrent Construction Management as Advisor Services RFP, and may not bid on the construction contract.

The project renovates approximately 30,750 square feet of City Hall, originally constructed in 1977 and last renovated in 1996. Scope covers replacement of HVAC, electrical, lighting, plumbing, windows, building controls, and data infrastructure, organized as a base bid with three additive alternates. Services include construction documents, permitting and entitlement support, constructability review, and bid phase support. Construction administration is optional and must be priced separately as a monthly rate by staff classification, with the final fee set at construction award. Proposers must show experience on at least three projects completed within the last ten years of similar scope and complexity, with preference for renovations of occupied public buildings and civic facilities. The City places significant value on in-house performance of major architectural and engineering disciplines, and proposers must identify which disciplines will be performed in-house and which by subconsultants.

The City cites a preliminary construction budget of approximately $25 million. The cost proposal must include hourly billing rates for all personnel, estimated hours and fees for each task, and separate line items for investigations, surveys, and testing under Task 2.

Questions are due November 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM PST. Consultant selection and contract award are anticipated at the January 2027 City Council meeting, with work commencing in February 2027. Mandatory submission elements include a California Non-Collusion Declaration (PCC 7106) executed under penalty of perjury, insurance meeting the City's professional services agreement requirements (professional liability of $2 million per claim and $4 million aggregate), and Department of Industrial Relations prevailing wage registration if applicable. The City may reject any or all proposals and modify the scope before award.
