This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document for engineering design services issued by Henry County, Georgia, for the Camp Creek Greenway Trail project (GDOT Project Identification Number 0021215). The procurement seeks a qualified consultant to design a 3.2-mile trail connecting downtown McDonough Square with the Henry County Government Complex, baseball complex, aquatic center, Boys and Girls Club, schools, neighborhoods, and employment hubs. The prime consultant must be prequalified by GDOT in Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Design, and the project team must collectively hold prequalification in environmental studies, public involvement, traffic analysis, landscape architecture, utility coordination, and surveying. Submissions are due by 3:00 pm on December 17, 2025, through the County's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/henryga. The contract will be awarded to one firm based on qualifications, with the project timeline anticipating Preliminary Engineering Notice to Proceed in FY 2026, Preliminary Field Plan Review in FY 2028, Right of Way acquisition in FY 2029, Final Field Plan Review in FY 2030, and construction contract letting in FY 2030. The contract will remain in effect until successful completion of the Preliminary Engineering phase, with negotiations to determine the final contract amount.

The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, nor does it detail specific budget ranges, as the contract will be project-specific and multi-phased with pricing determined through negotiations with the selected firm. Henry County reserves the right to terminate negotiations with the highest-scoring finalist and begin discussions with the next highest-scoring finalist if a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached. The procurement emphasizes adherence to GDOT's Plan Development Process and requires the selected consultant to provide all necessary preliminary engineering services while meeting various technical and environmental design standards throughout the project cycle.
