Central Health is establishing a Pre-Qualified List of engineering firms to support small to mid-sized renovation projects across its properties in Travis County, Austin, Texas. These projects typically involve areas under 20,000 square feet and are characterized by their scope and costs, which will serve as indicators for project sizing.

Qualified firms must possess licensing in various engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, environmental, plumbing, geotechnical, structural, civil, and landscaping, and should be capable of providing both basic services such as design development, construction documents, and construction administration, as well as additional specialized services like record drawings, sustainable design, bidding negotiations, CAD/BIM drawing, feasibility studies, mitigation planning, and investigative site assessments. The eligibility for firms to remain on the pre-qualified list extends for 36 months from the date of list formation, ensuring a consistent pool of qualified professionals for ongoing and future projects. The solicitation, posted under the title "Engineering Firms for Public Works Projects" with solicitation number 2512-003, was published on December 23, 2024, with a response deadline of February 7, 2025.
