Fulton County Schools (FCS) is seeking a professional services firm to conduct a comprehensive facility condition assessment and master planning project through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 160-25. The primary objectives include preparing the school system's next capital improvement program, updating facility Educational Specifications, determining educational adequacy of facilities, and identifying constructable and non-constructable items. Key deliverables encompass performing condition assessments of all existing FCS facilities, conducting a separate assessment of athletic facilities at middle and high schools, providing Capital Asset Planning and Management software, and integrating previous facility data into the new software platform. Proposals must be submitted by 2:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, January 9, 2025, to the FCS Contracting Department located at 6201 Powers Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia. Potential bidders are required to submit any questions in writing by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 12, 2024, via email to wecare@fultonschools.org. The proposal must be submitted in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the RFP number and opening date, with the contractor's name and complete address printed or typed on the outside.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The RFP does not indicate incumbent vendors, specific funding sources, or precise budget ranges for the project. While the document suggests this is a comprehensive planning service procurement, no detailed information about cost constraints or mandatory small business participation was included. The proposal requires sealed, physical submissions and explicitly states that faxed responses will not be accepted. Proposals are subject to rejection if the signature page is not completed and returned with the submission by the specified opening time. The project appears to involve significant technical complexity, requiring a professional services firm with expertise in educational facility assessment, master planning, and software integration capabilities.
