Knox County, an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, and Knox County Schools seeks to identify multiple professional architecture firms to provide future design. Knox County and Knox County Schools shall establish a prioritized list of the responsive firms, ranked in the order of their scores achieved through this Request for Qualifications process. As it is possible for projects requiring design services to be identified during the course of each fiscal year, the list shall be used to offer contracts to designers for projects as they occur, proceeding down the list in sequential order. This method shall be used to award design contracts for projects in which the design fee shall be less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) when calculated using the most current logarithmic equation enacted by the State of Tennessee (State Fee Scale). The types of projects may include but are not necessarily limited to roof replacements, security upgrades, and accessibility upgrades.
