INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) seeks the development of a master plan for its campus. The purpose of
the master plan is to understand and assess the current facilities on its campus to identify which buildings
are no longer functional and require replacement and what new facilities are recommended to support the
city’s growth.
Upon reviewing and re-evaluating the qualifications of the prequalified vendors, Kirksey Architects, Inc.
has the most relevant master planning experience and available staff to complete the project within the
schedule. Kirksey Architects, Inc., has provided material testing services for other projects similar in size
and cost to the DME Campus. Based on Kirksey Architecture’s knowledge, project team experience, and
availability, Kirksey Architecture has been selected as the best choice for the DME Campus Master Plan.
Request for Qualifications for architectural firms for professional architectural services for various vertical
capital infrastructure-related projects within the City of Denton for the Capital Projects Department was
solicited using the City’s formal solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of
professional service firms on February 20, 2024 (Ordinance 24-276).

On May 21, 2024, City Council approved RFQ 8376 for firms for professional architectural services for
