The Town of Parker, Colorado (Douglas County) is issuing Request for Quotation 26-009 seeking a qualified architectural design consultant to perform a comprehensive needs and site assessment for the Town's Fleet and Facilities divisions. The primary deliverables include evaluation of current facility deficiencies, future requirements, rough order of magnitude cost estimates (50% accuracy), conceptual design, and feasibility/preliminary cost estimates (25-30% accuracy) for two potential approaches: a single-site facility at the Public Works Operations Center (PWOC) located at 9045 Tammy Lane or a dual-site approach involving facilities at PWOC and potential fleet relocation to South Metro Fire Rescue Fleet Shop at 17801 Plaza Drive. The scope encompasses designing a fleet facility with maintenance bays, welding shop, equipment and parts storage, administrative offices, and technology systems; a facilities maintenance building with workshop areas and administrative space; and sitework including civil infrastructure, parking for 50+ vehicles, and approximately 7,000 square feet of covered outdoor storage for traffic and stormwater divisions. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: experience with similar assessments (20%), qualifications of project team (30%), methodology for needs assessment and design (15%), cost estimating methodology (15%), references and past performance (10%), and fee (10%). An optional site tour is scheduled for March 25, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. MST; questions must be submitted by March 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MST; proposals are due April 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MST through the Euna Procurement portal; evaluation will occur April 6-16, 2026; results will be announced April 17, 2026; interviews will be conducted during the week of April 20, 2026; final selection will be announced April 24, 2026; and Phase 1 contracts will be executed in May 2026 with services commencing May/June 2026.

The solicitation contains no specific set-asides or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises, allowing any qualified firm to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the opportunity documentation. Respondents must submit scope and fee proposals for both the single-site and alternate dual-site approaches within the Phase 1 budget of $95,000, which is allocated as a lump-sum compensation. Additionally, firms must provide target fee ranges for Phases 2 and 3 based on an estimated preliminary construction value of $15,000,000 under traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery, though these subsequent phases will be awarded under separate contracts determined following Phase 1 completion. The Town reserves the right to conduct quality-based selection, request best and final offers, negotiate terms with selected respondents, and award to the firm providing the best overall value.
