Architectural Services - Forensics Facility

The County of Moore in North Carolina has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 2026-01) seeking professional architectural firms to design a new Forensics Facility for the Moore County Sheriff's Office. The project aims to create a purpose-built, approximately 7,000-square-foot facility that will modernize and consolidate forensic operations, including vehicle and evidence processing, forensic analysis, and digital investigative functions. The scope of work encompasses site surveying, architectural and engineering design, permitting, cost estimation, construction administration, inspections, and project closeout documentation. The RFQ emphasizes the importance of experience, project approach, workload capacity, fee schedules, and references in the evaluation process, with submissions due by November 18, 2025. The County reserves the right to reject any or all responses, and interested firms can obtain detailed submission instructions from the designated contact. This procurement is part of Moore County’s efforts to enhance its forensic capabilities through a specialized, modern facility that supports law enforcement and investigative needs. The project’s estimated contract value ranges from 500,000 to 2,000,000 dollars, and the solicitation is managed by the County’s Purchasing Department. Firms interested in participating can find additional information and submit their qualifications via the County’s bidding portal. The initiative underscores the County’s commitment to improving forensic infrastructure and ensuring that qualified architectural professionals are engaged to deliver a comprehensive design solution aligned with the County’s operational requirements.
