### 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. Services are on an as-needed basis and may include design, project administration and management, assessments, plans and specifications, cost estimating, construction administration, and related professional services. QVL placement or a contract award does not guarantee work, and contracts may have a maximum term of three years.
