The City of Bainbridge, Georgia is soliciting statements of qualifications and proposals from consulting firms for grant administration and related services, with proposals due by 5:00 p.m. on December 8, 2026. The RFP does not restrict eligibility, but it encourages Section 3 Business Concerns to apply and requires Section 3 certification forms from firms claiming that status. Firms must show a strong record of helping local governments implement Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) programs, and other state and federally funded infrastructure projects.

Immediate needs include preparing and administering a 2027 CDBG project and a 2027 PHMSA project for public infrastructure, including water, sewer, road, drainage, and natural gas infrastructure, plus related public infrastructure activities. The City will evaluate responding firms project by project for future state and federally funded opportunities over a two- to three-year period. Contract execution is anticipated within one year of the November 4, 2026 RFP date. All work must comply with Georgia Department of Community Affairs provisions, 2 CFR 200, Davis-Bacon and Federal Labor Standards, Build America Buy America requirements, and civil rights and accessibility laws.

Proposals must follow an eight-tab structure covering firm history and resources, grant-funded project experience, capacity, current workload, scope of services, relevant project experience with references, a completed Statement of Qualifications Form, and any Section 3 Certification forms.
