On-Call Architectural & Engineering Services

Deschutes County is seeking proposals for an on-call architectural and engineering services contract to retain a single qualified firm to deliver professional A/E services across a broad spectrum of public facility projects.

The solicitation, numbered 26-010, was posted on July 22, 2026, with proposals due by August 25, 2026. The contract is open to firms capable of meeting the technical and operational demands of serving public sector infrastructure in sensitive, high-security, and health-focused environments. All work will occur within Deschutes County, Oregon, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Eric Nielsen, reachable via email. The County aims to establish a reliable, long-term partnership with a single provider to support timely and efficient facility improvements across its portfolio.
