ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES/KITCHEN RENOVATION FOR THE GREENVILLE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER

Greenville County, South Carolina, is soliciting statements of qualifications under RFQ 27013 for a licensed firm to provide professional architectural and engineering design services for the renovation of the kitchen at the Greenville County Detention Center. The selected firm will be responsible for an existing-conditions assessment, the creation of design and construction documents, assistance with bidding, and construction oversight. The scope of work encompasses critical infrastructure elements including flooring, drains, ventilation, plumbing, electrical, and structural work, as well as the integration of food service equipment. Because the facility is a secure, continuously operating environment, the design must prioritize correctional security, including tool and material control, construction access separation from inmates, and coordination of security electronics. The project requires strict adherence to the South Carolina Department of Corrections standards, SC DHEC food-service regulations, ADA Title II guidelines, and all applicable building and life-safety codes. The contract will begin upon the effective date of the Notice to Proceed, with a duration to be determined and the possibility of up to four annual one-year renewals. Award selection is based on the best interest of the County, with a potential two-phase evaluation process including interviews or demonstrations. Qualified firms must submit their qualifications via the County's online procurement portal by September 18, 2026. The successful contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance, including naming the County as an additional insured, and certify compliance with the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act and asbestos-free material standards.
