Architectural Design Services and Feasibility Study for the Domestic Violence Shelter

The City of Irving is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified architectural firms to provide professional architectural and related services for the evaluation, planning, and potential design of a Non-Congregate Domestic Violence Shelter.
