Architectural Design Services for New Emergency Services Complex

The City of Rosenberg, located in Fort Bend County, Texas, is seeking an architectural firm to provide comprehensive design services for a new Emergency Services Complex through Request for Qualifications (RFQ #2024-09Q). The project will be situated at Highway 36 at Fairgrounds Road near the Rosenberg Civic Center and encompasses Fire Stations No. 4, Fire Administration, and an Emergency Operations Center. The selected architectural firm must determine existing site conditions, develop preliminary schematic design options with cost estimates, prepare construction drawings and specifications, and coordinate the project through completion. Evaluation criteria for selection include qualifications (15 points), relevant emergency services project experience (35 points), reference responses (10 points), past relationship (20 points), familiarity with regulating agencies (10 points), and location (10 points). Key deadlines include a question submission deadline of January 5, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of January 18, 2024, at 2:00 pm, with the contract to be awarded to the most qualified firm based on these comprehensive evaluation criteria.

The procurement allows for potential federal assistance, which requires the successful respondent to comply with federal civil rights and non-discrimination statutes. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the RFQ suggests a competitive selection process open to qualified architectural firms with demonstrated experience in emergency services facility design. The payment schedule will be negotiated between the City of Rosenberg and the selected architectural firm, with complete payment contingent upon successful completion of all work elements to the City's satisfaction. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the provided documentation, indicating that pricing and compensation will be determined through subsequent negotiations. The project represents a significant opportunity for architectural firms with expertise in municipal emergency services infrastructure design, particularly those familiar with complex public safety facility development.
