The work may include studies, public outreach, design documents, estimates, construction administration, and reports with recommendations and implementation costs. The requested disciplines include architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, landscape architecture, interior design, and sustainability services such as EV and PV design. A firm may provide these services in-house or through subcontractors.

Who this opportunity suits
This RFP may suit architecture and multidisciplinary design firms with experience supporting facility renovation or construction work across planning, design, and construction administration.
