The City of Schertz solicited Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional architectural/engineering services related to the design and construction of Fire Station #4. The RFQ received 15 responses from various firms. Through the evaluation process, a committee was selected consisting of several members of various city departments, and one outside member with expertise in this field. The evaluations of the submissions included interviews and reference checks with other agencies that had utilized the firm in the past. Of the 15 submissions, 2 were selected as finalists. The department’s building committee arranged to visit several fire departments around the state to look at the final products produced by the firms, as well as gain first-hand insight into the experiences of those agencies. Ultimately, Eikon was selected as the sole finalist for the services on Fire Station 4.
