The City of Prescott awarded a single‑source contract for architectural and engineering design services to develop multiple new and renovated fire stations across the city. The scope includes master‑planning, schematic design, design development, construction documents, cost estimating, coordination with a future Construction Manager‑at‑Risk, and a feasibility study for an existing station. The design must meet extensive NFPA, IBC, ADA, and energy‑efficiency standards, incorporate gender‑neutral facilities, police sub‑stations, training rooms, and allow future expansion for electric fire‑engine charging. The procurement used a qualifications‑based RSOQ process, with a mandatory pre‑submittal conference, and required a 10‑page SOQ plus appendices. The contract’s funding derives from the City’s General Fund (TP‑tax revenue).
