Chesapeake Public Schools awarded its Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Engineering Services contract (RFP #52‑2122) to four Virginia‑based engineering firms. The award was announced on January 10 2023. The solicitation sought professional engineering design, consulting, and project management services for the district’s school facilities, covering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. No contract value, performance period, or pricing terms were disclosed in the award notice. This award represents a multi‑vendor approach, suggesting the district may be dividing the work among specialists or using each firm for specific projects or geographic areas. Key points for a prospective bidder:
• The work is focused on K‑12 school infrastructure MEP engineering in Virginia.
• The district used a competitive RFP process but did not publish budget figures publicly.
• Four firms were selected, indicating the contract may be split or structured as a joint‑venture/partnered effort.
