Description

Houston Independent School District is seeking statements of qualifications from architectural firms to provide full-service architectural and engineering design and related professional services for capital projects across its schools and support facilities. Potential assignments include new school construction, additions and campus expansions, renovations and modernization, infrastructure upgrades, site development, and safety and security improvements. The district may make multiple awards and assign projects as needed; this solicitation establishes a pool of pre-approved firms rather than guaranteeing a specific project or volume of work. Services may span programming and pre-design, feasibility and code analysis, schematic and design development, construction documents, cost estimating and value engineering, procurement support, construction administration, and post-construction services. Specialized work may include educational planning, sustainability, technology coordination, commissioning, BIM, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment coordination. Proposals must include a statement of qualifications addressing firm experience, relevant projects, staff qualifications, and client service, along with the required forms and project questionnaire. The solicitation also requires a HUB participation plan and insurance documentation; the reference survey is to be sent to three references, who must return it directly to the district by the deadline.
