Mendocino County has a continuous need for professional architectural and engineering services for a variety of County projects. These projects comprise a wide range of scopes from new design and construction projects to major and minor system replacement or improvement projects including various remodel or tenant improvement projects. Some of these projects involve work related to bringing existing County buildings into compliance with current regulatory requirements including (but not limited to) the California Building Code, Title 24, American with Disabilities Act (ADA), and others. Other possible work includes programming, needs assessments and facility or MEP system condition evaluation. These projects are spread over Mendocino County's entire geographic area. The County intends to procure these services on a continuing as-needed and as-requested basis. Contracts for these projects will be awarded based on informal solicitations from among the pre-qualified Design Consulting Firms. Depending on the value of the contract, contracts will be approved by the Facilities and Fleet Division, the County's Purchasing Agent, or the Board of Supervisors.
