26RFP032626K-DB Developer Services for 4330, 4334 & 4336 Fulton Industrial Circle Boulevard

Fulton County, Georgia's Department of Purchasing & Contract Compliance is issuing RFP 26RFP032626K-DB to procure qualified developers or development teams to redevelop three county-owned parcels totaling approximately 5.0 acres located at 4330, 4334, and 4336 Fulton Industrial Boulevard. The County has already completed site remediation, including demolition of existing structures and removal of underground fuel tanks, and seeks creative, experienced developers to propose commercially viable uses that enhance the district through light industrial, educational/incubator organizations, professional offices, retail establishments, research and development facilities, or other appropriate commercial uses. Key deliverables and objectives include conducting environmental review, refining development concepts and financial models, negotiating agreement terms and conditions with the County, obtaining project entitlements, and securing project funding. Developers must demonstrate financial strength through submission of three-year financial statements and detailed multiyear cash flow models in Excel format, with the County requiring site control through unsubordinated ground leases with base and/or participation rent payments or fee simple transactions with reversion rights. The evaluation committee will assess proposals based on 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%). A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 27th, 2026 at 11:00 A.M. via Zoom, and proposals must be submitted electronically through BidNet Direct no later than June 24th, 2026 at 11:00 A.M., with oral interviews and presentations anticipated thereafter.

All respondents must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage, design/build liability insurance of $3,000,000, and professional errors and omissions liability coverage of $2,000,000. While the RFP does not explicitly restrict responses to disadvantaged enterprises or set-asides for specific organization types, it does include evaluation criteria for service-disabled veterans preference (2%) and local preference (5%), allowing these factors to influence selection. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this solicitation. The properties benefit from Georgia Opportunity Zone designation, which offers $3,500 per job tax credits, and are positioned within the County's "Renew the District" initiative featuring $180 million in planned public and private investments, providing significant incentives for development. The County is agnostic regarding deal structure and reserves the right to reject all proposals or award to multiple developers; the specific contract award value is not stated in the solicitation materials, as the compensation structure will depend on the proposed deal terms, whether structured as ground lease arrangements or fee simple sales.
