On Call Architectural Services

The City of Hartford is inviting qualified architectural firms to submit proposals for an on-call advisory contract to provide professional architectural and landscape architectural services on an as-needed basis for projects with estimated costs under five million dollars. Both individual firms and teams of two or more firms may apply, and proposers may submit for one or both service categories. The City will select multiple consultants from the submissions to fulfill various small-scale projects, allocating work among them based on operational needs and discretion. There is no requirement for a bid bond, lowering the financial barrier to entry for qualified participants. Proposals must be submitted by August 11, 2026, by 6:00 PM, following the solicitation number 6296, which was posted on July 16, 2026. The contract falls under the SLED government classification and is administered by the Procurement Services Unit of the City of Hartford, Connecticut. All work is to be performed within the city, and inquiries should be directed to Susan Sheppard, the designated point of contact, via phone or email provided. Participation is open to firms capable of delivering timely, high-quality design services to support the City’s infrastructure and public space initiatives.
