This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document issued by Henry County, Georgia for Engineering Design Services related to the Camp Creek Greenway Trail project (GDOT Project Identification Number 0021215). The solicitation seeks a qualified consultant team to design a 3.2-mile trail that will connect 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, with the overall project team requiring collective 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 project timeline anticipates 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 be awarded to one firm based on qualifications, with the selected consultant providing all necessary preliminary engineering services throughout the project cycle while adhering to GDOT's Plan Development Process and meeting various technical and environmental design standards.

The contract amount will be determined through negotiations following qualifications-based selection and will remain in effect until successful completion of the Preliminary Engineering phase. The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. 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 a comprehensive approach requiring the selected consultant team to deliver integrated preliminary engineering services across multiple disciplines to support the multi-phased greenway trail development project.
