As a result, the County is seeking to establish a Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) to provide pre-qualified contractors capable of delivering rapid-build structural solutions that are deployable on short notice, adaptable to varying site conditions, and compliant with applicable building and safety standards.

The purpose of this RCA is to ensure the County and participating agencies have access to scalable, reliable, and high-performance modular structures that can be quickly procured and deployed when needed, without the delay of conducting a new solicitation during time-sensitive situations.

Key objectives of this program include:

• Rapid mobilization and deployment of structures in emergency or urgent scenarios
• Flexibility to support multiple operational uses and configurations
• Durability and resilience under extreme environmental conditions
• Streamlined procurement through a pre-established, competitively awarded agreement

The County is seeking experienced contractors with demonstrated expertise in rapid-deployment or modular structural systems, who can provide consistent performance, technical capability, and responsive service under both planned and emergency conditions.
