Advertising engineering and/or architectual services

The City of Bainbridge, Georgia is requesting statements of qualifications and proposals from engineering and architectural firms for public infrastructure engineering and design services, with proposals due December 8, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Responding firms must be technically qualified and licensed in Georgia. Section 3 Business Concerns are encouraged to apply.

The City intends to contract with a consulting firm within one year for engineering and design services on FY 2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) projects, along with other state- and federally funded community and economic development work. Eligible project types include water infrastructure, sewer infrastructure, road and drainage infrastructure, natural gas infrastructure, and other public infrastructure improvements. Named funding programs include Redevelopment Fund (RDF), Employment Incentive Program (EIP), Economic Development Administration (EDA), Southeastern Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC), and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects. The work encompasses preparation and administration of project-related services. This is not a retainer agreement, and firms will be reconsidered on a project-by-project basis over the following two to three years.

Contracts are subject to federal and state provisions prescribed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and must comply with 2 CFR 200. The procurement is covered under Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968. Firms must comply with civil rights laws, the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Davis-Bacon and Federal Labor Standards, and Build America, Buy America requirements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021.

Proposals must follow a nine-tabbed format covering firm history and resources, grant-funded project experience, key personnel qualifications, current workload, scope and level of service, similar project experience with references, errors and omissions insurance, a Statement of Qualifications Form, and a Section 3 Certification Form if claiming preference. Inquiries and proposal packages go to Roy Oliver, City Manager, at royo@bainbridgecity.com or 229-248-2006.
