The PBC employs various methods to procure Professional Design Services. Depending on the specifics of the project or program, the PBC may issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) or a Request for Design-Build Proposals (RFP), or the PBC may appoint an Architect of Record, Design Architect or Program Architect from our AOR LIQ Database.
Letters of Interest and Qualifications
The Letters of Interest and Qualifications (LIQ) database allows the PBC to have a uniform, accessible, current snapshot of firms interested in providing architectural services. The PBC is now accepting LIQs on a rolling basis from all architects and engineers.
