2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 Community Profile

Located northwest of Savannah, Georgia, the current resident population of Bulloch County is estimated at 83,059 residents, with the county seat of Statesboro having an estimated resident population of 33,399. Bulloch County’s population has grown thanks to multi-sector economic growth and a university enrollment boom that has been occurring since 1985. Statesboro is home to Georgia Southern University, having an enrollment of approximately 21,000 students.

It is estimated that there are nearly 39,000 in the labor force in Bulloch County. Bulloch County hosts several major employers including Wal-Mart Distribution, Briggs and Stratton, Cardinal Glass, Georgia Southern University, and coming in 2024 Aspen Aerogels. Also coming in nearby Bryan County in 2025 will be The Hyundai Motor Group where three Tier I suppliers have now located in Bulloch County. By 2030, Bulloch’s population may swell to over 98,000 residents, with 5,000+ residents locating in Bulloch County south of Brooklet near the Bryan County line.

2.3 Preferred Target Date of Completion

January 5, 2025.

2.4 Purpose and Objectives

The expected local and regional populations surge requires the county government to re-calibrate its future facilities planning efforts. The purpose is to study and address short-term, intermediate, and long-term needs for existing and future facilities for the Bulloch County Government. The expected outcome is a plan to guide the County’s short-term, intermediate, and long-term capital investments in buildings and facilities. The goals, objectives, and initiatives recommended should:

• Reflect community values.

• Be understood and supported by the Board of Commissioners and other County elected officials and stakeholders.

• Be economically feasible.

• Consider recent industrial and residential growth and its impacts.

The Consultant shall work with the County staff to apply well-established industry standards to ensure consistency and completeness of data gathered at different facilities and provide an assessment schedule with planned survey dates for specific facilities. The Consultant shall use individuals trained, licensed, or certified in construction, engineering, planning, and architecture.

3.0 BASIC SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES

The three phases that follow are the current minimum or basic scope of work and deliverables required under this contract. Additional or supplemental tasks and work elements may be negotiated before final contract approval. After the negotiation process and before proceeding with work tasks, the selected consultant will work with County staff to prepare a final scope and schedule for inclusion in a contract agreement.

3.1 Existing Facilities Condition Assessment: Technical Report #1

The Consultant shall conduct interviews with designated County representatives to elicit individual perspectives of problems needing solutions and observations of past, current, and expected future operational and facility needs and deficiencies.

The Consultant shall perform a non-destructive visual inspection of each facility in Appendix B, reviewing, documenting, and identifying systems-level deficiencies to include photographs of significant physical condition deficiencies.

The Consultant shall identify and assess building and facility conditions according to:

• Structural integrity of major building components for each building (substructure, shell, interior) and the estimated life expectancy.

• Functional condition of current lighting, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and fire protection systems.

• Candidacy for energy efficiency improvements.

• Historic or cultural value, if any.

• Compliance with all applicable building codes and ADA requirements.

The Consultant will prepare a report for each facility and building system presenting significant capital repair and replacement requirements within a 10-year planning horizon. This report shall include a database that includes facility condition information, operational assessments, drawing where available and other information. Develop a prioritization tool or index in conjunction with the database. Significant shall mean $100,000 or more.

3.2 Space and Programming Needs Assessment: Technical Report #2

The Consultant shall conduct interviews with designated County representatives to elicit individual perspectives for space and programming needs, deficiencies and where future facilities should be expanded or located and constructed, if needed.

It should be kept in mind that the County will be performing a future workforce demand study during the project period. The Consultant for this engagement may gain intelligence from the selected workforce study consultant with regard to forecasting space and programming needs.

For each existing building, the Consultant shall identify and assess building space and programming needs according to:

• The existing interdepartmental working relationships and the need for adjacency.

• The nature of work performed for each workspace.

• The adequacy of the workspace in terms of size and functionality.

• The number of employees using each space.

• The adequacy of acoustics and climate control.

• The functional and programming requirements for security, communications and information technology infrastructure, conference and meeting rooms, printer and copier areas, and file and storage space.

• The functional and programming requirements for lobbies, restrooms, mechanical spaces, vestibules, stairwells, elevators, hallways, and other common use spaces.

• Each facility’s land-based features support the facility on its site, including public and entry access (including ADA features), and pedestrian maneuvering and parking capacity for public and staff needs.

• If new facilities are needed, identify and assess options to retrofit, re-use or de-commission abandoned or vacated facilities or space.

• Determine whether a building may be found to have significant physical condition and functional deficiencies, with costs of corrective measures exceeding replacement value.

Where there is a current space shortfall or existing operational deficiencies in each building, the Consultant shall identify and assess additional future space requirements according to:

• Industry practices, standards and benchmarks.

• The function of service delivery and utilization.

• Future population growth and density.

• Proximity to overlapping services.

• Existing facility deficiencies.

The Consultant will prepare a report for existing and future space and programming needs addressing the adequacy and functionality of existing space, the need for additional future space (with ideal location), and options for the retrofitting of vacated space. Present significant project requirements within a 10-year planning horizon. Significant shall mean $100,000 or more.

3.3 Master Facilities Plan: Final Report and Work Program

The Consultant will use the information developed in the prior assessments to recommend a 10-year master planning schedule (by year) for capital repair and replacement requirements, existing space renovations or expansions, de-commissioned facilities, and for new facilities. The schedules shall be accompanied by opinions of probable cost. These schedules shall consider the necessary stages of land acquisition, pre-design, design and construction activity and any impact upon the continuity of services and operations.

The Consultant will prepare performance measures to help prioritize projects that includes a Facilities Quality Index (FQI) for each existing building. This Index will reflect the financial needs for total capital renewal that includes the estimated costs for physical condition and functional needs. The metric is calculated as:

FQI = $ Physical Conditions + $ Functional Needs / Current Replacement Value.

Ten (10) copies of the plan shall be supplied to the County for distribution. All documents shall be formatted and bound in a manner that will allow it to be revised or updated without reprinting the entire document. A copy in electronic format shall also be provided, along with electronic copies of all supporting analyses and information. The entire report as well as any maps, renderings or drawings will be provided to Bulloch County in digital format so that the work can be reproduced for future use by staff, designers, and contractors.

5.2 Proposal Evaluation and Award Criteria

All proposals received by the deadline shall be subject to an evaluation by a selection committee of County staff for the purpose of recommending a consultant. Proposals must be complete and responsive to all sections of the RFP. Proposals that do not fulfill all program requirements or omit any of the proposal contents as described in the RFP may be cause for rejection.

The proposals will be evaluated based on a two-step process. The first step will involve an evaluation of each consultant’s technical proposal, using the selection criteria below. The top ranked consultants may be asked to make an oral presentation as a part of this step. The second step will involve reviewing the price proposal for the consultant with the highest technical score from the first step. If the selection committee determines that the price proposal of the consultant with the highest technical score is reasonable, negotiations will commence. If an agreement cannot be reached, then the price proposal for the next highest technical score will be reviewed. This evaluation process will continue until a recommendation of award can be made in the best interest of all parties.

In the second step, the consultant rankings will be assigned by the selection committee. Upon approval, negotiations will commence with the highest ranked consultant. The contract will be recommended for award to the governing body of the County upon reaching an agreement on a final work plan and price. If an appropriate agreement cannot be reached with the highest ranked consultant, the second ranked consultant will be approached, and so on.

The scoring rubric for making the recommendation selection are as follows:

5.3.1 Methods and Approach: 25 Points.

Evaluate the technical soundness of the consultant’s stated approach to the project, and the understanding of the project’s purpose. Innovative approaches or techniques that go beyond the suggested scope of work can maximize the score for this category, but it must be shown how this will be accomplished within the budget and time limits. Consultants should feel free to suggest other requirements and problems that may have been overlooked or omitted in the scope of work.

5.3.2 Capability and Qualifications: 30 Points.

Evaluate the firm’s ability to meet the terms and scope of the project based on previous project history, and the qualifications of personnel and subconsultants.

5.3.3 Schedule: 15 Percent.

Evaluate the clarity and adequacy aligned with the project tasks and deliverables.

5.3.5 Price Proposal: 30 Percent.

Once firms have been ranked and pre-qualified, the second step of evaluating price proposals will occur. The highest priced qualified firm will be given 30 points. Higher priced proposals will be ranked and assigned points by determining their proportional spread from the lowest priced firm. For example, if six firms submit a price proposal, the highest priced firm will be given 15 points, and the next five will likely score 18, 21, 24, 27, then 30, unless price margins are narrower.

5.0 RFP Schedule

The County will convene a Consultant Selection Committee to evaluate and rank the consultants that respond to this RFP. This evaluation will be based on the proposals submitted and (at the discretion of the committee) on interviews with those consultants who appear to be particularly well qualified based on their written proposals. The County anticipates the following schedule for the selection process:
