Open End Design Services

Piedmont Community College (PCC) in Person County, North Carolina, is seeking architectural services through an Open End Design Services Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for miscellaneous campus development projects. The procurement aims to select three architectural firms for a one-year design services agreement, with an option to extend for an additional year. Proposing firms must be licensed to practice architecture in North Carolina and will be evaluated on criteria including specialized expertise, past performance, staffing, design approach, construction administration capabilities, and project proximity. The solicitation requires three hard copies of a Letter of Interest and SF-254 form, plus one digital copy, with submissions limited to ten single-sided pages (or five double-sided pages) plus the SF-254 form. Proposals are due on August 19, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with a total project budget of $150,000 funded through county-approved sources. The selection will be made by a committee using state building commission guidelines, focusing on comprehensive qualifications and project-specific capabilities.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified architectural firms meeting the state licensing requirements. The contract does not indicate any incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements for existing infrastructure or technology. The total project budget is $150,000, with the potential for a one-year agreement and an additional optional year extension. Firms will be expected to provide a range of architectural services, including developing miscellaneous plans, specifications, and studies for informal development projects across the Piedmont Community College campus. The evaluation process will prioritize firms that demonstrate strong local expertise, proven performance in similar educational facility projects, and a comprehensive approach to design and construction administration.
