Architectural Services-Judicial Facilities Needs Study

Rowan County, North Carolina has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for architectural and consulting services related to a Judicial Facilities Needs/Space Study. The main purpose of the RFQ is to conduct a comprehensive facilities needs and space study for the Rowan County Judicial Facilities, including the Courthouse, Probation, Detention, and Sheriff's Offices. The selected firm will be required to have performed at least three facilities needs/space studies for judicial facilities and have experience designing, bidding, and providing construction administration for at least three judicial facilities within the last 15 years. Statements of Qualifications are due by May 21, 2024, at 3:00 PM ET, and the County anticipates awarding a single contract for the required services. The RFQ outlines the evaluation criteria that will be used to select the successful firm, including qualifications of key personnel, availability, experience with similar projects, methodology, and references.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are no indications of an incumbent vendor or current contractor, and the RFQ does not provide a specific award value or budget range. However, the RFQ does include various federal provisions that may apply to the project, such as equal employment opportunity, Davis-Bacon Act, and procurement of recovered materials.
