Architectural Design Services for South Police Precinct

The City of McDonough, Georgia, is soliciting proposals for architectural design services for the South Police Precinct through RFP #25-09, with sealed bids due on September 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The project involves comprehensive design services for a new three-story steel frame facility located at Avalon Parkway, totaling approximately 18,750 square feet. The first floor will be fully designed and built-out for immediate Public Safety use, while the second and third floors will be delivered in white box condition for future department growth. Required services include architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), interior design, and civil engineering services from conceptual design through construction document completion. The proposal will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with 20 points for relevant experience, 20 points for key staff qualifications, 30 points for methodology and technical approach, and 30 points for cost proposal. An additional 15 points may be awarded during an optional oral presentation/interview. The contractor will have 60 calendar days to complete the architectural design after receiving the Notice to Proceed, with the project funded through SPLOST VI, which was approved by Henry County/McDonough voters on November 1, 2024.

The City of McDonough encourages participation from small, local, veteran-owned, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and female-owned business enterprises. The procurement process allows the city to reserve the right to negotiate the fee and scope of services with the highest-ranked proposer and potentially use a Best and Final Offer process if necessary. Interested parties can submit questions to Bruce Holmes by August 29, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with any potential first addendum to be posted on the City of McDonough website by the same date and time. The total architectural design costs will be determined through the proposal process, with the expectation that all design work will conform to current state and local building codes. The city reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive technicalities and informalities, and reject portions of the proposals. Additional information can be found on the city's website at www.mcdonoughga.org. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project represents a significant investment in municipal infrastructure for the South Police Precinct.
