27035-Q: Public Works Transportation Engineer of Record

Fayette County, Georgia is soliciting Statements of Qualification for Transportation Engineer of Record (TEOR) services to establish a qualifications-based shortlist of three to five consultant firms, with SOQs due October 15, 2026 and questions due September 28, 2026.

Respondents must hold GDOT prequalification and provide Professional Engineers and Registered Land Surveyors licensed in Georgia — the central eligibility filters. The scope spans eleven service categories: traffic studies and transportation planning, project management and plan review, intersection design, bridge services, multi-use paths and transportation alternatives, road improvements, surveying, environmental services, construction engineering and inspection, right-of-way acquisition, and specialized services. The county anticipates five projects for immediate Task Order issuance, including road realignment, intersection improvements, a roundabout design, a multi-use path development, and intersection safety enhancements.

Resulting contracts are valid through June 30, 2027, with potential annual renewals through Fiscal Year 2029. Task Orders will be awarded via three methods: sole-source negotiation when one consultant possesses unique qualifications, low-bid competition with Not-to-Exceed cost estimates from multiple TEORs, or proposal-based selection. Funding sources include Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) programs and available county funds, with contracts subject to immediate termination if appropriated funds become unavailable.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Qualifications Statement (20%), Project Team Members (20%), Team Experience (50%), Quality Control (5%), and Scheduling and Resource Availability (5%), with potential presentations adding up to 10 percent additional scoring. Required submittals include company information, E-Verify affidavits, conflict-of-interest certifications, team qualifications and experience documentation with reference projects since 2020, project team member credentials and organizational charts, quality control procedures, and resource availability information. Successful contractors must maintain General Liability ($1,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), Workers Compensation per Georgia statute, and Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions ($2,000,000) insurance.
