DNR-RFQ-462-492-992024-A&E Design Professional

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is seeking firms interested in providing miscellaneous Professional Architectural and/or Engineering Services for various DNR-managed projects on an as-needed basis. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeks to identify potential providers of these services. Firms that respond and are deemed sufficiently qualified may be invited to interview and offer proposals. The RFQ outlines a two-step procurement process, with Step I being the RFQ and Step II being the Request for Proposals from qualified finalist firms. The RFQ provides details on the schedule, minimum qualifications, evaluation criteria, submittal requirements, and finalist notification. The successful firm(s) may be offered a zero-dollar Task Order Design Services Contract, with compensation for any given project likely based on unit pricing, hourly rates, lump sum, or a combination, to be negotiated on a project-specific basis.

The RFQ encourages participation by small, minority, and women-owned businesses, and notes that the project will incorporate sustainable design and construction concepts where feasible. The RFQ does not specify a maximum number of firms to be selected, and both multi-disciplinary and specialized firms will be considered. The selected firms may be required to use the e-Builder project management software on a case-by-case basis. The document does not provide any information about pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements and sources, or other salient financial details.
