Town of Granite Falls- RFQ for Architectural Services

The Town of Granite Falls, North Carolina is seeking proposals from qualified architectural firms to provide complete design services for a new 23,000 square foot fire station. The desired facility must include features such as six drive-through bays, a workshop, turnout gear storage, decontamination room, kitchen/dining area, training room, exercise room, administrative offices, and sleeping quarters for 10 employees. The Town is looking for a firm that can develop a design that reflects the surrounding streetscapes and meets the current and future needs of the fire department, which utilizes both paid and volunteer personnel. Applicants will be evaluated on their understanding of the project, qualifications, experience with local government design and fire department projects, and their ability to provide comprehensive solutions. The architect's fees will be a flat rate, not a percentage rate. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on May 14, 2024, and the Town reserves the right to reject any and all proposals.

The contracting opportunity is not designated for any specific set-aside or business enterprise program. The Town has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no requirements for the integration of existing infrastructure or technology. The budget or potential award value for this project has not been explicitly provided in the RFQ.
