26-048 S2103 Johnson Ferry Road at Peachtree Dunwoody Road Intersection Improvements Design

The City of Sandy Springs is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP 26-048 S2103) for design services to improve safety and operations at the intersection of Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Johnson Ferry Road in Cobb County, Georgia. The procurement seeks comprehensive engineering design services across six primary tasks: topographic survey with utility coordination (SUE Level B), concept design with ADA compliance and green infrastructure feasibility analysis, preliminary design with right-of-way acquisition support, final design and bid document preparation, public involvement activities including one mandatory public meeting, and post-design services including pre-bid conference attendance and construction phase support. The project builds upon a previously completed Medical District Roadway Safety Analysis and a Johnson Ferry and Peachtree Dunwoody Road Intersection Concept Development Scoping Study from November 2025. Prime consultants must maintain GDOT pre-qualification in area classes 3.02 (Two-Lane or Multi-Lane Urban Roadway Design), 3.07 (Traffic Operations Design), and 3.13 (Facilities for Bicycles and Pedestrians), with the full consultant team requiring additional GDOT pre-qualifications in utility coordination, hydraulic and hydrological studies, land surveying, soil surveys, and erosion control. The RFP will be evaluated on a 100-point scale: 20 points for project manager and key team leader qualifications, 20 points for prime consultant experience, 20 points for resources and staffing, 30 points for technical approach and schedule, and 10 points for fee proposal. Proposals are limited to a maximum of 37 pages and must be submitted through the Bonfire Portal by June 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM via Microsoft Teams, and questions from prospective offerors are due by May 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.

The RFP contains no stated set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational type, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Compensation shall be structured on an hourly not-to-exceed basis with task-based cost proposals required for survey, concept design, preliminary design, final design, public involvement, and post-design services, plus an additional $40,000 allocation for services as requested by the City engineer; however, no specific budget range or award value is provided in the available materials. The project is funded by City TSPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) funds, and the contract term extends through project completion and final payment, contingent upon annual appropriations by City Council. The City reserves the right to conduct interviews with selected offerors, request financial statements from qualified firms, negotiate revised scope and fees with the highest-ranking offeror, and reject all proposals if deemed in the City's best interest.
