26RFP032326K-DB Developer Services for 301 Fulton Industrial Circle & 305 Fulton Industrial Circle

Fulton County, Georgia is issuing Request for Proposal (RFP) 26RFP032326K-DB seeking development services for two county-owned parcels totaling approximately 8.1 acres located at 301 Fulton Industrial Circle and 305 Fulton Industrial Circle in the Fulton Industrial Boulevard corridor. The County seeks experienced developers or development teams to submit comprehensive proposals for redeveloping one or both sites, which were cleared of original commercial structures in 2024. Key deliverables and objectives include conducting environmental reviews, refining development concepts and financial models, negotiating agreement terms and conditions with the County, obtaining project entitlements, and securing project funding. Required qualifications include demonstrated financial capacity through balance sheets and credit ratings, evidence of access to financing, references from previous similar projects, and a detailed multiyear cash flow model demonstrating the ability to withstand market fluctuations. Evaluation criteria, weighted at 100 points, include project concept and outreach approach (20%), project funding and financing (18%), financial capacity (20%), previous project experience (15%), team qualifications (10%), project schedule (10%), local preference (5%), and service disabled veterans preference (2%). The pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. via Zoom, with a deadline for question submissions by May 27, 2026, at 2:00 P.M., and proposals due June 10, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. through BidNet Direct. Oral interviews and presentations will be scheduled after initial proposal review.

Local preference is awarded to businesses with a staffed physical location in Fulton County for at least one year prior to submission, and service disabled veterans preference is designated at 2 points. The County does not establish a specific cost proposal format, as pricing will be negotiated through the development agreement process; however, no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The County is agnostic regarding deal structure but requires provisions ensuring site control and reversion rights if development does not proceed. Acceptable land uses include light industrial, education, research and development, professional office space, and retail establishments appropriate to the industrial corridor environment, with the County open to exchanging land value for community benefits such as food service options for corridor workers and job training or small business space at below-market rents. The contract term extends for the sooner of two months, signing of an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement, or termination as provided. No specific award value or budget range is listed in the procurement documents.
