Qualified respondents must be established firms licensed to practice engineering or architecture with a principal office in Georgia.

The scope encompasses design of renovated locks (primarily cell doors) and replacement of existing graphic and logical push-button HMIs with touchscreen graphical interfaces campus-wide.

Affected areas include all living areas, Main Control, and vehicle portals. The design must incorporate a construction plan that minimizes impact to normal daily facility operations. The Georgia Department of Corrections will provide the selected design professional with a conceptual plan during the design process. The scope covers preparation of schematic design and design development documents, estimated construction costs, and construction documents only; bidding assistance, negotiation services, and construction administration are not currently funded.

The Stated Cost Limitation for this project is $4,478,250. Selection criteria include organization, design ability, past performance, ability to meet time requirements, budget limitations, and professional experience. Respondents must submit a letter of interest, a current Architect/Engineer Questionnaire (GSA Standard Form 330), and a notarized, executed Contractor Affidavit under O.C.G.A 13-10-91(b)(1). Following initial evaluation of qualifications and performance data, three or more highly qualified firms will be invited for mandatory interviews and site visits.
