Architectual Services

The Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD) in Texas issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking statements of qualifications from Texas-licensed architectural firms to provide comprehensive facility assessment services. The procurement requires selected firms to evaluate MCAD's current facilities, including space utilization, building systems, and infrastructure capacity, with recommendations for future growth, operational efficiency, and long-term planning. Deliverables must include a written report summarizing findings, conceptual layouts and planning scenarios, budgetary cost estimates, and phased implementation recommendations. Qualified applicants must possess a valid Texas architecture license, demonstrate experience with facility assessments for governmental or public sector entities, and provide proven expertise in space planning and long-range facility planning with multidisciplinary capabilities. Submissions due by noon on June 1, 2026, must be submitted in five sealed copies either hand-delivered to 109 Gladstell Street, Conroe, TX, or mailed to P.O. Box 2233, Conroe, TX 77305. Proposal packages must include a cover letter with vendor data and key personnel information, company background with proof of licensure and conflict of interest disclosure, technical approach describing methodology and stakeholder engagement, project timeline estimates, and at least five client references with three being Texas-based. Questions regarding the RFQ must be submitted by May 18, 2026, to vgipson@mcad-tx.org, with responses provided by May 25, 2026. Selection will be based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, with pricing explicitly excluded as a selection factor; cost negotiations will occur only after initial selection of a qualified professional.

The RFQ contains no identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting organizational types eligible to respond, though applicants must hold current Texas architectural licensure. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement documents.
