Fire Station 4 Design-Build RFQ

This Design-Build Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by a Georgia jurisdiction solicits qualified design-build teams to deliver the complete construction of a new Fire Station 4 facility. The procurement is structured as a design-build project, requiring the selected firm to assume responsibility for both architectural and engineering design as well as construction execution from project initiation through completion. Key deliverables include comprehensive design documentation and full construction of the fire station facility that meets all applicable codes and standards. Prospective bidders must demonstrate their capability to execute both design and construction phases, with required qualifications likely including relevant experience in institutional building construction, design-build delivery expertise, and appropriate licensing for both architectural/engineering and general contracting services. The RFQ was posted on May 27, 2025, with a response deadline of July 1, 2025, providing a 35-day submission window. Evaluation criteria will include the vendor's technical qualifications, project team experience, methodology, schedule, and cost proposal. The solicitation will direct bidders regarding pre-bid meetings, site visit schedules, and submission procedures to ensure all interested parties understand the qualification and selection process requirements.

The RFQ documentation references potential set-asides for disadvantaged businesses and local enterprises, though specific preferences and participation requirements would be detailed within the formal solicitation documents. The financial framework for this project will establish a defined budget allocation for Fire Station 4's design and construction, with payment terms and any performance incentives or penalties specified to align the contractor's interests with project success. The selected design-build team will be required to maintain appropriate insurance coverage and bonding sufficient for the project scope, comply with all applicable safety standards and regulations, and potentially incorporate sustainability requirements or specialized code compliance mandates applicable to fire station construction. While specific budget figures and award values are not disclosed in the summary materials provided, the project scope and complexity will determine the contract value. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are referenced in the available documentation, indicating this represents a new procurement for a new facility construction rather than a contract renewal or modification.
