About this file
This file package contains the Request for Qualifications (RFQu) and related documents for architectural and engineering services for the DeKalb County Board of Education's Miller Grove High School Facade Repair and Replacement project (Project No. 106-30). The RFQu solicits proposals from qualified A/E firms to provide professional design services for facade evaluation and repair/replacement at the high school facility. The project involves multiple design phases including preliminary consultation, schematic design, design development, and construction documents (30%, 80%, and 100% completion stages) with associated design reviews and permits. The RFQu opens on May 7, 2026, with a pre-submittal conference on May 21, 2026, final questions due May 27, 2026, and the final addendum issued June 3, 2026. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) is anticipated for July 1, 2026, with design completion anticipated by January 3, 2027, and construction anticipated to commence September 10, 2026, extending through November 30, 2028.
Compensation for architectural services is structured as a lump sum with allocations across design phases, sub-consultant costs included in the fee, construction administration services comprising a minimum of 15% of the total fee, and reimbursable expenses included. The Stated Cost Limitation for the project is $13,200.00 as noted in the Mandatory Addendum, though this appears to reference only a portion of total project costs. The project is funded in whole or in part with State Capital Outlay Funds provided by the Georgia Department of Education, requiring compliance with GaDOE rules, guidelines, and the Mandatory Addendum to the Owner/Architect Contract. The architect must maintain Professional Liability Insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 in aggregate for projects under $20,000,000 stated cost limitation. All design documents become the property of DCSD upon completion, and the architect is responsible for all consultant coordination, cost estimation, schedule management, construction administration, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations.

These Design Guideline requirements reflect DeKalb County
School District’s (DCSD) experience in building and operating schools. They are provided to assist Design Professionals in preparing contract documents for new schools, additions, and renovation projects.
The aim is to balance the need for instructional functionality with aesthetics, accessibility, operability, sustainability, and security so that all students, staff, and community members feel welcome and safe.
The Design Guideline requirements are organized in sixteen (16) divisions similar to the Master Format industry standard specification divisions. Technical specifications for each DCSD project shall be prepared by and be the legal responsibility of the Design Professional of Record. This document serves as a guideline to the project designer of minimum performance standards and expectations the District has for school construction. They are not intended to be complete technical specifications. The Design
Professional shall be responsible for incorporating these requirements into the appropriate contract documents. Any deviation from these guidelines must be approved in writing by DCSD staff.
All requirements noted shall be assumed to apply to every school type, unless specifically noted. DCSD or its designee shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining the DeKalb County School
District Design Guidelines.
Design Professionals shall coordinate use of these Design Guideline requirements with related documents and regulations, including, but not limited to:
Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) Architectural Review Documents: GaDOE requires that Construction Documents for DCSD projects comply with GaDOE standards and be submitted for formal review. These standards and review requirements are posted on the
GADOE Facilities Services Resources website: http://www.GaDOE.org/Finance‐and‐Business‐
Operations/Facilities‐Services/Pages/Facilities‐Services‐Resources.aspx. Drawing submittals require coordination with the current GADOE “Curriculum and Space Needs” form for each project. These forms will be provided by GADOE through the DCSD Program Manager.
Georgia Department of Education (GDOE) Grants Administration Documents: At projects where
GADOE will provide funding, additional documentation is required. These documents are also posted on the GADOE Facilities Services Resources website.
The following DeKalb County School District (DCSD) guiding documents are posted on the DCSD website

DeKalb County School District (DCSD) Educational Specifications: Educational Specifications provide descriptions of typical programmed spaces for each of the three main types of schools:
Elementary, Middle and High. These Design Guidelines describes construction requirements applicable to all types of schools.
DIVISION 1 – GENERAL
01.01 Facility Planning
1. Grades to be Housed: Typical new schools in the DeKalb County School District shall be designed to house the following grade levels:
a. Elementary: Kindergarten (K), First (1st), Second (2nd), Third (3rd), Fourth (4th) and
Fifth (5th) grades.
b. Middle: Sixth (6th), Seventh (7th) and Eighth (8th) Grades.
c. High: Ninth (9th), Tenth (10th), Eleventh (11th) and Twelfth (12th) Grades.
2. Building Capacity: The District’s Planning Department will determine the Full Time Equivalent
(FTE) Capacity for new schools in the DeKalb County School District.
3. Building Core: The “core” consists of ancillary spaces that support the classroom instructional spaces. These include the Cafeteria, Kitchen and Media Center. The GADOE has issued rules setting forth minimum floor areas for such spaces, based upon FTE. Thus, provision for expansion must begin with planning for a “core” large enough to support the largest practical
FTE contemplated for a given site. Typical new schools in the DeKalb County School District shall be designed with the following core capacity:
a. Elementary Future FTE: plan for minimum 40% increase
b. Middle Future FTE: plan for minimum 30% increase
c. High Future FTE: plan for minimum 25% increase
4. Future Expansion: Any new design for DCSD facilities should be configured with future growth in mind, to allow for expansion with a minimum amount of alteration of the original structure or site. For new buildings or major additions, indicate area for future expansion on the architectural site plan.
01.02 Room Numbers
DeKalb County School District requires incorporation of a single room numbering system for all drawings, schedules and signage installed on the building, including: All architectural submittal drawings
1. GADOE Inventory Drawings
2. Door and Finish Schedules
3. HVAC Equipment, Automated Temperature Controls and Energy Systems
4. Signage on the building
To achieve this, the Architect shall develop a logical building and room numbering system at the
Schematic Planning stage. The sequence of room numbers shall be assigned based on ease of locating rooms in the completed building. In order to direct students, staff and visitors, the sequence shall start at the Main Entrance and progress in a logical sequence throughout the building. Random numbering of rooms is not acceptable.
Room numbers shall be all numeric as required for GADOE Inventory. Major room numbers at multi‐ story buildings shall be 4 digits starting with the floor level, and progress around the building in sequence (Room number 1211 indicates 1st floor, 2nd wing or Corridor, 11th room). Small spaces within major rooms or suites shall be identified with the major room number plus numeric suffix (# 1211.1).
VERSION 2018.04.04
Where possible use whole thousands for wings or corridors (1200) and use postal odd‐even progressive numbers down corridors (odd on right (1211), even on left (1212). All spaces must be numbered including corridors, stairs, elevators, and service rooms. Stairs, elevator and service rooms may be numbered as a suffix of the corridor leading to them. One story buildings shall be similar, but may use 3 digits when identification of the story is not needed. Room numbers at additions shall extend existing
Inventory Drawing numbers without repeats.
Architect shall present building and room numbering system to DCSD for review and approval before incorporating them into the construction documents. After room numbers are approved they shall not be casually altered without specific approval of DCSD Facilities Services Department. See Division 10 ‐
Room Signage.
01.03 GADOE Inventory Drawings
For all new buildings and additions, the Architect shall prepare Inventory Drawings. These documents are required by the GADOE for the Local Facility Plan, and are used by DCSD for convenient reference.
Inventory Drawing standards include:
Deliver the Inventory Drawings to DCSD, formatted and saved in AutoCAD 2010.
The following layer list should be used:
1. Building walls shall be drawn in a simplified 2‐D drawing format using Auto CAD and show only the net exposed surface of walls. (i.e., no hatching or interior chases)
2. Show windows as a single Cyan Line without spandrels or sills.
3. Show doors and swing as single lines similar to walls without thresholds or heads.
4. Eliminate unnecessary detail features which may interfere with the readability of text at the prescribed sheet size.
5. Identify all spaces, including corridors, stairs, elevators, and service rooms, with room name, room number and net area.
6. Standard sheet size = 11” x 17” without border
7. Do not use more than one sheet per floor level.
VERSION 2018.04.04
8. All text must be readable without magnification when printed on 11” x 17 sheet. Use following Fonts and colors to better distinguish room identification:
Font styles:
9. Net Room Areas shall be calculated based on the inside face of walls.
10. Gross building areas shall be calculated to the exterior surface of exterior walls. Do not include overhangs.
11. Provide separate area calculations for mechanical mezzanines and canopies.
12. Text shall be individually positioned for each space for best readability.
13. Additions shall be identified with a yellow phantom line border and a title box showing
GADOE Building Number, Year when first occupied, and Gross Area.
14. Refer to typical existing Inventory Drawings for required Schedules, Tables and overall
Format.
01.04 Fire Evacuation Plans
For all new buildings and additions, the Design Professional shall prepare evacuation plans in accordance with DeKalb County Fire Marshal regulations. Upon construction completion, these plans will be mounted on interior walls throughout the facility to direct building occupants to exits.
1. For phased projects, intermediate evacuation plans are required for each phase.
2. Plans shall show simplified floor plan in black, with exit routes in red, on white background.
3. Deliver the Fire Evacuation Plans to DCSD in .pdf format at 11” X 17”.
4. To properly mount the plans, the Design professional shall specify a protective acrylic frame, and locate mounting locations for contractor to install.
01.05 Proprietary Specifications
1. Technical Specifications shall generally be performance‐based and include a minimum of 3 acceptable manufacturers actively bidding in Georgia. These shall be reviewed by DCSD or its designee in order to confirm acceptability.
2. It is the desire of DeKalb County School District to utilize proprietary specifications for items for which there are less than three acceptable manufacturers or for items for which new purchases must be of the same manufacturer as existing to achieve…
