The City has utilized on-call consultant contracts for engineering and architectural services on a delivery order basis for over 30 years. These contracts provide study and design services, bid assistance, construction administration, land surveying, and other professional services for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and departmental projects.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued to select firms for on-call architectural services in compliance with Arizona Board of Technical Registration rules. Each project will be authorized by a delivery order specifying scope, schedule, and fee. Delivery orders will not exceed $500,000; those over $100,000 require City Council approval.

Nine firms submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQs):
