Central State Prison Fire Alarm Replacement

The Georgia Department of Corrections is soliciting statements of qualifications from registered engineers and architects for professional design services on the Central State Prison Fire Alarm System Replacement (Project No. GDC-23-CENT-SP-004) at 4600 Fulton Mill Road, Macon, Georgia, with responses due September 14, 2022 at 11:00 AM EST and a mandatory site visit on August 30, 2022 at 10:00 AM.

Respondents must be established firms licensed to practice engineering or architecture with a principal office located in Georgia; firms with multiple offices should submit qualifications only for the office that would produce contract documents. The scope encompasses replacement of the existing fire alarm system with a new addressable fire alarm system across all facility buildings, including living areas, program areas, support buildings, the administration building, Main Control, and external structures. Design services shall include schematic design, design development documents, estimated construction costs, construction documents, and contract administration, with particular attention to minimizing operational disruption during implementation.

The stated cost limitation for the project is estimated at $1,010,000. Selection will be based on organizational structure, design ability, past performance, ability to meet time requirements, budget management, and professional experience. Following initial qualifications review, three or more highly qualified firms will be invited for departmental interviews with an optional site visit.

Interested firms must submit advance notice of attendance at the mandatory site visit by 3:00 PM on August 24, 2022, for security clearance purposes. Written responses must include a letter of interest, GSA Standard Form 330 (Architect/Engineer Questionnaire), and a notarized executed Contractor Affidavit.
