Position classifications include Project Engineer, Registered Project Engineer, and Certified Industrial Hygienist.

The contract commences in 2027 and runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewal periods (2028 and 2029) subject to Board of Commissioners approval and availability of appropriated funds. Awardees must maintain professional liability insurance ($2,000,000 per claim/aggregate), commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and workers' compensation insurance. All contractors must comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements and E-Verify program participation for services exceeding $2,499.99.

Evaluation is on a 100-point scale: project plan and approach (22%), qualifications of key personnel (18%), relevant project experience (18%), availability of key personnel (15%), cost proposal (20%), local preference (5%), and service-disabled veteran preference (2%). Pricing is evaluated by lowest average hourly rate receiving full points with successive rates proportionally scored.
