Architectural and Engineering Services

The buyer, a government authority located in Columbia, MD, seeks a vendor to provide architectural and engineering services for a one-year contract period. The selected vendor must perform work onsite across three distinct phases. During the study and design phase, the vendor inspects site properties and prepares preliminary design drawings or reports. In the documentation and bidding phase, the vendor creates schematic and design development drawings aligned with the buyer's written design standards, participates in cost estimating and value engineering, and maintains a scope and cost log. For the construction administration phase, the vendor reviews submittals, issues bi-weekly field reports, addresses punch lists, and satisfies all final closing or post-construction funding requirements. Eligibility restricts participation to onshore USA-only vendors. The buyer requires proposal-based budget submissions, which vendors submit digitally via email or online. Key dates include a pre-bid site visit on September 10, 2026, and a deadline to submit all questions by September 18, 2026. The provided text contains no specific evaluation criteria.
