Designer On Call Services

The Town of Avon is soliciting qualifications for a Designer to provide on-call professional architectural and support services for municipal construction and capital improvement projects. The scope of work primarily focuses on the Town Hall and Council on Aging, with an anticipated aggregate construction value of approximately 10 million dollars over a three-year contract term. Key project types include roof renovations, HVAC system upgrades, interior renovations, and facade repairs. The selected designer will operate on an as-needed, task-order basis and must provide deliverables such as construction cost estimates, record drawings, and record model files. The selection process is based on a qualifications-based selection conducted by the Building Committee, which will shortlist at least three finalists for potential interviews before ranking them for the Select Board. Fee proposals are explicitly excluded from the initial Statement of Qualifications and are only requested from the first-ranked designer. The contract requires strict adherence to Massachusetts General Laws, including Chapter 7C for designer selection and Chapter 149 for public bidding, as well as compliance with ADA standards and MAAB regulations. Applicants must submit their responses by November 18, 2026, to the Town Administrator. Required documentation includes a list of up to five relevant projects, professional liability claims history, and certifications regarding tax compliance, good faith, and corporate authority. The contract also mandates compliance with non-discrimination laws, prevailing wage requirements, and the provision of a Truth-in-Negotiations certificate to ensure accurate and current cost reporting.
