RFP - Architectural Services

The District seeks written proposals from qualified consultants able to provide Architectural Services. The District will screen and select Proposers as provided in ORS 279C.120. The District intends to award to multiple Architectural Firms for the purpose of creating a pool from which to draw for various bond projects as a result of this RFP. The contract term will be 4 years with options to renew for an additional one-year term.

The Hillsboro School District Requests proposals from qualified firms for the architectural services associated with general building construction projects as assigned by the District. The District will be issuing an approximately **$430 million** bond measure to vote in the November 03, 2026 election.

The scope of this bond includes projects in six main program areas:

• buildings and systems (e.g. roofing, HVAC, lighting)
• safety and security (e.g. doors and locks, fencing, cameras)
• technology and cybersecurity (e.g. student and staff devices, servers, routers, firewalls, audio/visual equipment)
• Career and College Pathways (e.g. renovation of middle school career exploration areas, construction of pole barn/modular building for fire science program)
• extracurriculars (e.g. track resurfacing, lighted turf fields, auditorium renovations)
• other needed projects (e.g. school kitchen remodels, bus purchases, print shop equipment installation).

Bond work will be spread across four to five years (2027 to 2030 or 2031) to maximize availability of contractors and the clustering of like-projects, while minimizing both cost and disruption to schools.

Some, but not all, of these Bond projects will require architectural services.

The Scope of Work will include: See *Attachment G - Scope of Work for Architectural Services* for the 2026 Bond Program projects
