Architectural & Engineering Services Qualified Pool

Ocean County, New Jersey is seeking to establish a qualified pool of consultants and professional service providers to deliver architectural and engineering services through this Request for Qualifications (RFQ 26-27 Q-1757). The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of services including concept and schematic design, design development, contract documentation and administration, landscaping design services, civil engineering services, structural engineering services, and other related services. Qualified respondents must demonstrate professional expertise and relevant experience in these disciplines, with evaluation criteria likely assessing technical capabilities, past project performance, team qualifications, and ability to support the County's capital improvement and facility development initiatives. The opportunity was posted on May 11, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 11, 2026, providing potential applicants with one month to prepare and submit their qualifications. Additional details regarding specific evaluation criteria, required certifications, insurance requirements, and any technical or staffing qualifications are contained in the official RFQ document (1-RFQ 26-27 Q-1757 Architectural Engineering Services.pdf).

The RFQ documentation should be reviewed for any set-aside designations, including potential preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), minority-owned business enterprises (MBE), women-owned business enterprises (WBE), or veteran-owned business enterprises (VOSB) that may apply to this procurement. The establishment of a qualified pool structure suggests that Ocean County intends to develop an ongoing roster of pre-qualified firms from which to select for specific projects, rather than a single award scenario. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technology integration requirements have been identified in the summary information provided; however, these details would be specified in the complete RFQ document. Specific award values or budget ranges for individual projects drawn from this pool would likely be determined at the time of project-specific task orders or assignments. Interested firms should obtain and thoroughly review the complete RFQ document to understand all requirements, submission procedures, and terms governing participation in the qualified pool.
