RFQ Architectural/ Engineering Services for Community Pools

Reeves County Purchasing Department is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for architectural and engineering services to design multiple community pools, with the primary project located at 700 W. Daggett Street, Pecos, Texas. The procurement seeks licensed architectural or engineering firms registered to practice in Texas to provide comprehensive design services including schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding phase support, and construction administration. Deliverables must include outline specifications at 30% completion, abbreviated specifications at 60% completion, and full specifications at 95% completion, along with opinions of probable cost at each phase and facilitation of a minimum of two community meetings. Qualified proposers must demonstrate experience in community pool design, government bidding processes, and project inspection and closeout, and must provide verifiable examples of at least three similar projects completed within the last five years with construction costs at or near $3,000,000. Evaluation will be weighted as follows: related experience (10 points), work performance and references (30 points), team experience (40 points), code and regulatory knowledge (10 points), and project approach (10 points), totaling 100 points. Sealed qualifications must be received by 11:00 A.M. CST on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, with questions due by 5:00 P.M. on Friday, March 6, 2026, and award is tentatively scheduled for 9:00 A.M. CST on Monday, April 13, 2026, in the Commissioners' Court.

The RFQ does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting response eligibility beyond the requirement that firms be licensed and registered to practice architecture or engineering in Texas. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documentation. The primary project budget is established at $3,000,000, which serves as the baseline for evaluating proposer experience with similarly-scaled projects. All vendors must complete a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire in accordance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 and comply with the County's Purchasing Code of Ethics. The County reserves the right to terminate the process at any time and does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or disability. Payment will be made through County funds upon completion and delivery of goods or services, contingent upon receipt of a Purchase Order from the County Purchasing Office.
