The City of Fairfax is seeking a qualified architectural and engineering firm under solicitation RFP-125353 to conduct an alternatives evaluation and develop a recommended concept plan for the Fairfax Circle intersection and associated transportation improvements. The project aims to redesign the intersection of Fairfax Boulevard, Routes 29/50, and Blenheim Boulevard to resolve operational and safety issues, supporting the Fairfax Circle Small Area Plan's vision of a sustainable, mixed-use, and walkable gateway.

The contract is awarded based on a technical evaluation of qualifications, proposed methodology, quality assurance plans, and schedules, with a focus on professional competence. Eligible offerors must be registered and licensed in Virginia through the DPOR and State Corporation Commission. The agreement begins upon execution and terminates upon completion of the feasibility study. Payment is based on firm hourly rates, with terms specifying payment within 30 days of invoice receipt, though the City may retain up to 5 percent of the total order value until contract completion. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the eVA website by November 12, 2026, and must remain valid for 180 days.
