On-Call Architectural Services

The City of Palm Springs is establishing an on‑call, indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) architectural services contract to provide design, planning, and construction‑administration support for a variety of public‑works projects over a maximum five‑year period. The contract will be awarded to two qualified architectural firms that will receive task orders on an as‑needed basis, with a total ceiling of $5 million for the entire term (approximately $1 million per year). Firms must demonstrate at least 25 years of overall architectural experience and 15 years of public‑works experience, and must provide three recent public‑agency projects each exceeding $250 k in architectural fees. The solicitation requires submission of a 20‑page narrative, fee schedule, and required certifications; only the prime architect must complete the Section 7 forms. No guaranteed minimum volume of work is promised, and each task order will define its own scope, schedule, and compensation method (lump‑sum or cost‑plus). • Provide full‑service architectural design (programming, schematic, design development, construction documents, permitting, construction administration). • Support for feasibility studies, code‑compliance reviews, sustainability/energy‑efficiency requirements, and special‑purpose projects (historic preservation, fire‑life safety, etc.). • Work will be issued via individual task orders; firms may engage sub‑consultants (MEP, structural, civil, landscape, etc.) as needed per task.
