Limited Design Services for the Keefe Auditorium

The City of Nashua, New Hampshire, located in Hillsborough County, is soliciting proposals from qualified architectural firms to provide limited design services for the Keefe Auditorium project. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive assessment of the necessary components required to transform the auditorium into a fully functioning facility, with the ultimate goal of informing the City and a potential preferred developer. Qualified firms must possess extensive architectural expertise and the ability to conduct a thorough evaluation of the facility's current condition and potential renovation requirements. The Request for Proposals (RFP0026-092625) was posted on September 12, 2025, with proposals due by September 26, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, respondents will likely be assessed on their technical capabilities, relevant experience, understanding of the project scope, and proposed approach to delivering the required design services.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The attached visual document (Keefe Auditorium Visual 9-12-25) suggests the project involves an existing auditorium facility, implying potential integration with current infrastructure. While no specific budget range or award value is provided, the limited design services nature of the project suggests a relatively moderate-scale professional services contract. Architectural firms interested in responding should carefully review the complete RFP documentation to understand the full scope of requirements, potential site visit protocols, and any additional submission guidelines that may not be immediately apparent in the initial contract opportunity description.
