RFQ for as needed services

The Board of Clermont County Commissioners is seeking to establish a prequalification list for architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and structural professional design services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process authorized under Ohio Revised Code Section 153.68. The procurement focuses on creating, reviewing, and approving building code compliance documents for potential remodeling and construction projects involving county offices, buildings, structures, and related appurtenances. Specific service requirements include comprehensive space planning, HVAC systems, lighting design, and landscaping documentation. Qualified firms will be expected to provide professional design services that meet stringent building code standards and support potential projects scheduled for 2025 and early 2026. The RFQ was posted on July 17, 2025, with responses due by July 31, 2025, indicating a relatively tight submission window for interested professional design firms.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the opportunity description, the procurement appears to be open to qualified architectural and engineering firms with demonstrated expertise in comprehensive building design and code compliance. The prequalification list suggests that multiple vendors may be selected to provide as-needed services, which could create opportunities for various professional design organizations. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the documentation, though the scope implies potential for multiple projects across Clermont County's municipal and administrative facilities. The procurement methodology of establishing a prequalification list indicates that the county seeks to maintain a pool of vetted professional service providers who can respond quickly and effectively to potential renovation and construction needs. Interested firms should carefully review the Ohio Revised Code Section 153.68 to ensure full compliance with state procurement regulations and professional design service requirements.
