Fire Training Burn Building Project

Greene County Fire Rescue (GCFR) in Greensboro, Georgia is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Fire Training Burn Building Project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to design, fabricate, transport, and completely set up a custom fire training facility constructed from fifteen new shipping containers (nine 40' and six 20' containers). The proposed burn building will be a three-level, single/multi-family residential structure featuring interior staircases, exterior railings, multiple windows, burn rooms, door simulators, and various training props to support live-fire, rescue, ventilation, and technical operations training. The RFP was issued on May 23, 2025, with proposals due on June 27, 2025, at 2:00 pm, and a tentative award date of July 11, 2025. Proposal evaluation will be based on comprehensive submitted materials, including company overview, project references, design layouts, cost estimates, project schedules, and warranty details. Vendors must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and provide extensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, business automobile liability, employers liability, and umbrella liability. Each bid must include a 5% bid bond, and the project must be completed within 12 months of award.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrict responses to specific types of organizations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the document indicates that site preparation will be completed separately by Greene County, suggesting potential integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The total project budget is not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, though it will be fully funded by Greene County. Vendors are required to submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their technical capabilities, including detailed design proposals, project timelines, and cost estimates. The county reserves the right to reject any proposals and cancel the RFP at any time, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. Prospective bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with state immigration regulations, indicating a preference for established, compliant contractors with significant experience in specialized construction and training facility development.
