Building Dept. Svcs. & Erosion Control Inspection(6/30 modified)

The City of Peachtree City, Georgia, located in Fayette County, is soliciting competitive proposals for comprehensive professional building department services and erosion control review and inspection through Request for Proposal 25-124PPZ. The procurement encompasses building code enforcement, plan review services, erosion control plan review and inspections, and engineering plan review services to support the city's building permit and inspection operations, which processed 1,516 permits in 2024 generating $1,210,886.51 in permit fees and conducted 9,306 annual inspections. Qualified contractors must provide staffing including a Plan Reviewer and Building Official as distinct full-time positions, personnel certified in residential and commercial building inspections and plan review, and a professional engineer certified as a Level II design professional by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission to review commercial site development plans and erosion control plans. Erosion control inspectors must be certified by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission and conduct inspections on all active sites with Land Disturbance Permits weekly and after rain events exceeding 0.5 inches, with initial inspections required prior to permit issuance. The RFP was released on May 30, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of July 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST; optional proposer interviews are anticipated between July 21-23, 2025, with city council selection expected in August 2025 and contract execution and service commencement on October 1, 2025. The evaluation criteria allocate 40% weight to qualifications and experience, 40% to project approach and commitments, and 20% to proposal completeness and price evaluation. Contractors must submit proposals as a percentage of the City's adopted fee schedule for plan review, building inspections, erosion control services, and engineering plan review, supplemented by all-inclusive hourly rates for non-routine services, and minimum qualifications include three years of building services experience and demonstrated financial standing.

The RFP does not identify any incumbent contractor or current service provider. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational type are detailed in the solicitation documents; however, contractors must comply with E-Verify registration and Georgia's illegal immigration requirements. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $2,000,000 combined general liability, $1,000,000 automobile liability, $1,000,000 umbrella coverage, and workers' compensation insurance as specified, and must provide proof of good financial standing if requested by the City. While the RFP does not specify an exact award value or budget range, the historical permit fee data of $1,210,886.51 in annual revenue provides a baseline for understanding the scope and potential contract magnitude. The initial contract term extends through September 30, 2026, with potential renewal for four additional calendar years contingent on funding appropriation and city council approval, and either party may terminate with 90 days' written notice after the contract has been in effect for at least six months. All work must conform to the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual, the City's Local Design Manual, the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia, and AASHTO standards, and the City issued four addenda clarifying fee schedules, non-routine service definitions, bid submission requirements, and subcontracting provisions.
