Request for
Qualifications
The process of selecting a firm(s) to provide
architectural design services for the future OPC
will include an RFQ phase and a Request for
Proposal (RFP) phase. The RFP will not require
a full design competition effort as part of the
candidates submissions. It will, however, require
a defined, limited effort from each candidate to
present creative ideas in response to the Foundations project goals and site information provided
in the RFP. The Foundation does not anticipate
announcing the architect until after a contract
has been executed in early 2016.
