Independent Architect & Owner's Representative Services

Montgomery County Emergency Services District No. 10 ("MCESD10" or the "District") seeks Statements of Qualifications from qualified firms or business entities properly registered with the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners ("TBAE") to offer or provide architectural services in the State of Texas. Each Respondent must identify a Texas-registered architect who will serve as the District's Independent Architect pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2269.305. The selected Respondent will provide a combined engagement consisting of (1) the statutory Independent Architect services and (2) comprehensive Owner's Representative and project-management services for Fire Station 186. The selected Respondent will serve as the District's statutory independent architect and as the District's primary Owner's Representative and project-management consultant for the duration of the Project, subject to the authority reserved to the Board of Commissioners in the final professional services agreement. The selected Respondent will be expected to provide independent professional judgment and owner-side project management concerning scope, design criteria, budget, schedule, quality, risk, procurement integrity, construction administration, commissioning, closeout, and warranty matters. This is a qualifications-based procurement. Respondents shall not include professional fees, hourly rates, multipliers, reimbursable markups, or other price information in the Statement of Qualifications or in any interview conducted before the District completes its qualifications ranking. The District will first select the most highly qualified provider based on demonstrated competence and qualifications and will then negotiate a fair and reasonable price in accordance with Texas Government Code Section 2254.004. MCESD10 makes no guarantee that an award will be made as a result of this RFQ. The District reserves the right, consistent with applicable law, to reject any or all Statements of Qualifications, waive minor informalities that do not affect fairness, request clarification of non-material information, verify information submitted, conduct interviews, and cancel or amend this solicitation.
