REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES
Russell Township
The Russell Township Board of Trustees is interested in engaging professional landscape architect & design services for the new Community Room building located at 8501 Kinsman Road (SR 87) in Russell Township, Geauga County, Ohio.
The Community Room is a new township building for public use to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. A landscape design is needed for aesthetics and screening. The north side of the new building has space for plantings at the foundation. To the east of the new building is the existing township Recycling Center which will require new evergreen screening and possibly new hillside plants. A patio is attached to the building at the base of the east hillside. To the west of the Community Building are the mechanical elements & generator which need screening from the north side of the building. Perennial plantings, ease of maintenance, seasonal interest, native plants, and aesthetic appeal are priorities.
The professional landscape design firm or individual employed on this project shall prepare conceptual design drawings & full landscape plans, and provide, during the project, other design, landscape architectural, and administration services on behalf of the trustees, including but not limited to, observation services during the installation period to ensure compliance with the design plan. If required by the Ohio Revised Code, the firm or individual employed on this project shall prepare bid specifications and assist the township with the bidding phase.
The professional design firm or individual employed on the project must have the technical training, education, and experience to provide these professional services. Personnel, equipment, and facilities must be available from the design firm to perform the services within the required time. A record of successful performance must be reflected by the evaluation of previous clients with respect to control of costs, quality of work, and meeting deadlines.
Proposals must include at the minimum: a statement of interest in the project AND a statement of qualifications (SOQ). Please submit four (4) copies of your written proposal and one copy in an electronic format (PDF) in a sealed envelope marked “Russell Township Landscape: Professional Design Services Proposal” to the Russell Township Board of Trustees at 8501 Kinsman Road, P.O. Box 522, Russell Township, Ohio 44072. Proposals must be received on or before 12:00 pm, noon (local time), January 15, 2025.
