"As Needed" Geotechnical Engineering, Special Inspections and Materials Testing (Annual Contract)

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, through the Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham, is soliciting qualifications under RFQ C27-08 to prequalify vendors for as-needed geotechnical engineering, special inspections, and materials testing services, with statements due December 8, 2026 through the Bonfire e-Procurement Portal. An optional pre-submission conference is set for November 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Capital Programs Conference Room, 3609 Hopkins Street, Savannah, Georgia.

Offerors may respond to one or all three service categories. Prequalification requires authorization to transact business in Georgia, Georgia professional licensure, and E-Verify compliance under O.C.G.A. 13-10-91. Offerors must document past experience on large construction projects through five project references and must demonstrate the ability to obtain Commercial General Liability coverage at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Commercial Automobile Liability at $1 million, statutory Workers' Compensation, and Umbrella coverage at $2 million. Projects exceeding $100,000 require performance and payment bonds equal to total contract value. Required forms include a debarment certification, a lobbying disclosure, and a notarized contractor affidavit.

The prequalified list will support negotiated, as-needed awards for at least one year after publication. No prequalified offeror is guaranteed a project, the District may add vendors through future prequalification windows, and it may solicit projects outside this process. The District also reserves broad discretion to reject any or all statements and to disqualify offerors it deems not responsible based on capacity, insurance, licensing, or past performance.
