Rfq Architectural Design For Performing Arts Building

The City of Quincy, through its Office of the Mayor, is seeking qualified architectural firms to provide design services for a new multi-level, multifunctional City-owned building that will serve as a civic hub, including a lobby, civic space, and a Performing Arts Center, with potential inclusion of other historic, cultural, or civic functions. The project aims to develop a comprehensive design for the building shell, systems, and structural components, with phases that may include feasibility studies, public engagement through charrettes and meetings, coordination with future tenants, and the development of construction-ready plans. The scope explicitly excludes initial fit-out of tenant spaces, focusing primarily on the building’s core and shell design, and will involve collaboration with various stakeholders, including permitting authorities and project procurement teams under Massachusetts law. The solicitation, titled "Rfq Architectural Design For Performing Arts Building," was posted on June 13, 2025, with a deadline for qualifications submissions set for June 26, 2025. The project’s estimated value ranges from five to fifteen million dollars, and it falls under the NAICS code 541330, which pertains to architectural services. The selection process will be based on qualifications, with contract negotiations to determine fees afterward. Deliverables and performance are expected to be coordinated from Quincy City Hall, located at 1305 Hancock Street, with the procurement process managed through the City’s purchasing department. Interested firms are encouraged to review detailed requirements online or at the City Hall office during regular business hours. The project emphasizes phased development, public engagement, and adherence to local and state permitting standards, aiming to create a culturally significant and functional civic facility in Quincy.
