PUBLIC NOTICE Request for Proposals Architectural Design Services Irvington Branch Renovation Project NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that The Indianapolis Public Library (“IndyPL”) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) to solicit Statements of Qualifications (“SOQ”) from qualified Vendors for Architectural Design Services (“Services”) for the Irvington Branch Library Project (“Project”), the next branch in the implementation of the IndyPL Strategic Plan. The Services required and the scope of the Project are described in the RFQ. IndyPL intends to review the SOQs submitted by Vendors with the intent of entering into an Agreement (“Agreement”) with a single Vendor for the Project described in the RFQ. A complete description of the Strategic Plan can be found on the IndyPL website at https://www.indypl.org/about-the-library/strategy. IndyPL is seeking Vendors whose proposed team has a combination of experience, personnel, and processes which will provide timely, cost-effective, and exemplary professional Services to IndyPL for the Projects. It is the intent of IndyPL to work with the selected Vendor for the Project to reach an agreed upon fixed-sum fee for the Project. Adjustments to the fixed fee shall be computed in accordance with the agreed upon rate schedule if changes in the Services are authorized by IndyPL. IndyPL is committed to supporting and encouraging economic growth and business opportunities in Marion County by strengthening IndyPL’s relationships with minority, women, disability and veteran-owned business enterprises by providing an equal opportunity for participation in all IndyPL business. The IndyPL Board of Trustees, with Resolution 28-2020, adopted these Minority/Women/Disability/Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise Utilization Goals: • Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) is fifteen percent (15%). • Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) is eight percent (8%). • Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (VBE) is three percent (3%). • Disability-owned Business Enterprises (DOBE) is one percent (1%). Attainment of these individual utilization goals for the Project will be based on the cumulative amount of work under the contract. IndyPL understands there may be instances when the individual utilization goals cannot be achieved by the Vendor in the preparation of their proposal. In these instances the Vendor is required to provide evidence of sufficient outreach and good faith efforts made to subcontract with MBE/WBE/VBE/DOBEs to meet the utilization goals. The RFQ may be downloaded from the “Vendor Opportunities” page of IndyPL’s website, beginning September 29, 2025. This RFQ may also be emailed to interested respondents.
