Description

The County of Orange seeks to pre-qualify firms to provide Architect-Engineer (A-E) and related services for countywide maintenance and capital improvement projects. The solicitation will establish a Qualified Vendor List of firms qualified in applicable A-E disciplines and services, from which the County may select firms for initial or future contract awards.
