Through this Request for Qualifications (this RFQ), the Portland Development Commission (PDC) is
seeking competitive proposals from qualified and experienced individuals, firms or teams (Proposers)
to provide Architecture Storefront Services on an as needed basis. PDC may award one or more
Flexible Service Contracts from this RFQ. The awarded Flexible Services contracts are anticipated to start
on or about September 1, 2010. The contracts will be awarded through February 28, 2013. The value of
each contract is anticipated not to exceed $ 75,000 for the term of the contract. A Flexible Service
Contract is a price agreement for services. The services requested under a Flexible Services Contract will
typically be for projects that are small to medium in size and limited in scope. They generally include
work with short deadlines, scopes that may need to be developed quickly and/or require expertise not
currently in-house.
