The Grand Prairie Independent School District (GPISD) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to create a roster of Texas‑licensed architectural and engineering firms capable of providing a wide range of professional services—including design, planning, roof replacement, renovation, and life‑safety upgrades—for K‑12 school facilities. No pricing is to be submitted; firms will be evaluated solely on experience, personnel qualifications, past performance, and technical capability. The roster will be valid from November 12 2026 through August 31 2031, after which the District may select qualified firms on a project‑by‑project basis.
• Eligible firms must hold Texas architectural or professional engineering licenses.
• Services span architectural design, civil/structural/mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering, roofing, site development, energy studies, fire protection, cost estimating, and construction administration.
• Submissions consist of a single searchable PDF (≤30 pages) with cover letter, firm profile, key personnel, project examples, approach, references, and required certifications.
• Deadline for questions: 10/28/2026 12:00 PM CST; submission deadline: 11/4/2026 10:00 AM CST via Ionwave.
• Evaluation uses weighted criteria (experience, personnel, past performance, project management, technical capability, references) totaling 100 points.
• The District may negotiate individual contracts after selecting the “most highly qualified” firm for each specific assignment; no guarantee of work volume.
