The City of Worcester’s Designer Selection Board issued an on‑call architectural design services solicitation (DSB‑1‑W2) for a three‑year period (2022‑2024). The contract allows up to two firms (the Board ultimately awarded four firms) to provide design services for municipal, school, and redevelopment authority projects ranging from $100 k to $1.5 M in construction value. Fees are negotiated on a per‑project basis, and all design work must incorporate the city’s sustainability goals and comply with state and federal regulations (including DBE, debarment, and environmental clauses).
• Scope covers assessment, schematic design, construction documents, cost estimating, bid assistance, and construction administration.
• Projects include roof/window replacements, accessibility upgrades, interior fit‑outs, and new construction (e.g., Union Station redevelopment).
• Awardees: Nault Architects, Mt Vernon Group Architects, Habeeb & Associates, and Fennick McCredie Architecture.
