Multiphase Architect and Engineering Services for Judicial Center

Fauquier County is seeking a qualified architectural and engineering firm for a multiphase contract to design and potentially oversee the construction of a new Judicial Center in Warrenton, Virginia. This professional services contract, governed by the Virginia Public Procurement Act, encompasses a broad scope of work including project delivery advisory, finalization of the concept based on the Master Facilities Plan, and the production of fully coordinated architectural, structural, civil, and MEP engineering designs. Key deliverables include construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. The project must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and county LEED sustainability goals, while ensuring that police operations remain secure and undisturbed during construction. The solicitation process, identified as RFP 27-032-C, requires proposals by September 28, 2026. Selection is based on the highest qualified offeror, with evaluation factors focusing on expertise, performance records, current workload, and proximity to the project.

Administrative requirements include a 45-day payment term following invoice acceptance and a mandatory certification of no crimes against children for on-site work. Proposals must be submitted via the Bonfire portal or hard copy, adhering to strict page limits and formatting guidelines.
