Feasibility Study-Public Safety

The City of College Park in Georgia is seeking a qualified firm to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for its Fire Department through Request for Proposal (RFP) 26-19. The primary objective is to assess current operational capabilities, facilities, staffing, equipment, and future service demands to determine potential improvements, expansions, or restructuring of public safety services. Key deliverables include a project kickoff meeting, interim updates, draft and final reports, and a presentation to City Council, with a targeted project timeline of 90-120 days from contract execution. Minimum qualifications for bidders include five years of experience conducting feasibility studies for public safety agencies, demonstrated municipal government experience, and proven ability to assess service delivery models. The evaluation criteria will be weighted across technical methodology (25%), experience and references (30%), project timeline and deliverables (15%), cost proposal (20%), and schedule availability (10%). Proposals are due on October 21, 2025, at 3:00 pm EST, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 30, 2025.

The RFP encourages participation from local businesses, minority-owned, woman-owned, and small businesses, potentially offering preference to vendors within College Park's city limits. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder, not necessarily the lowest cost proposal, with an initial one-year term and options to renew for four additional one-year periods. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the feasibility study suggests a significant scope of work requiring substantial expertise in public safety infrastructure and service delivery assessment. The contract will be structured to allow flexibility in addressing the City of College Park's specific public safety needs, with a focus on thorough evaluation and potential strategic improvements to the Fire Department's operational capabilities.
