FY 2026 CDBG Senior Center Renovation

Treutlen County, Georgia is soliciting proposals from qualified architectural firms to provide grant services and design support for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project focused on renovating the county's Senior Center in fiscal year 2026. The county seeks a licensed Georgia architect with demonstrated experience in successfully implementing CDBG programs, specifically requesting a comprehensive Statement of Qualifications that includes firm history, CDBG/grant experience, key personnel credentials, current workload, proposed service scope, project references, and detailed fee structures. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a scoring criteria form that assesses the firm's technical capabilities across five key categories: project discipline ability, personnel experience, reference quality, documented project experience, and price competitiveness. Proposals must be submitted by 5:00 PM on December 8, 2025, with a draft Preliminary Architect Report (PAR) required no later than January 22, 2026. The selected firm will be responsible for preliminary design services and potentially full implementation if the project receives funding, with the primary objective of remodeling and improving the county's Senior Center.

The procurement opportunity specifically encourages participation from Section 3 Business Concerns under the HUD Act of 1968, signaling a preference for businesses that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons or businesses owned by such individuals. The county is committed to civil rights, fair housing, accessibility, and non-discrimination standards, adhering to multiple federal regulations including the Civil Rights Act, Housing and Community Development Act, Fair Housing Act, Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Architectural Barriers Act. Responding firms must provide documentation of Errors and Omissions Insurance and demonstrate comprehensive experience with similar municipal renovation projects. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement is tied to potential CDBG funding for FY 2026, suggesting that project scope and funding will be contingent on grant approval. All contract awards will be subject to federal and state contract provisions prescribed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, with potential for comprehensive architectural services including both preliminary design and potential full project implementation.
