Architectural & Engineering Services

The solicitation issued by Parker County Hospital District seeks qualified architectural and engineering firms to provide comprehensive services for the design and development of two facilities: a 4,500-square-foot EMS Station in Aledo, Texas, and a 3,600-square-foot Aeromedical Hangar in Peaster, Texas. The selected firm will lead all project phases, including team formation, master site planning, programming, conceptual design, detailed design, construction administration, and project closeout. The contract value is estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000, though no specific pricing or total cost is provided in the RFP. The project timeline is to be determined, with key dates including proposal submission by November 3, 2025, and notification of selection by November 15, 2024. The firm must submit a proposal via the designated OpenGov portal, adhering to strict formatting, content, and page limits, including detailed project experience, team organization, fee estimates, and a proposed AIA Standard Form of Agreement. The contract will be governed by the AIA Standard Form of Agreement, with no explicit FAR clauses or federal-specific contractual provisions incorporated. The scope emphasizes coordination with owner-furnished equipment, low-voltage systems, and compliance with local permitting authorities, but does not specify federal regulations, security requirements, or MIL-STD standards. The firm must demonstrate licensing in Texas, provide proof of insurance, and disclose litigation or bankruptcy history if applicable. The proposal must include detailed resumes, project references, and a matrix of team experience, with the owner reserving rights to reject any proposals, select based on criteria beyond cost, and approve or reject proposed sub-consultants. During construction, the architect is responsible for weekly site visits, RFIs, submittals, and ensuring all permits and approvals are obtained, with formal owner approval required at each major phase. No specific delivery or performance schedule is provided, but the firm is expected to coordinate closely with the owner and ensure systems meet design parameters through commissioning and quality control procedures.
