GDC-164A-CxA Autry State Prison Campus Wide Upgrades - Bldg. Commissioning Services

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC), is conducting a two-step Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) for building commissioning services for the Autry State Prison Campus Wide Upgrades project located in Pelham, Mitchell County. The project encompasses comprehensive mechanical system upgrades, construction of a new kitchen facility, dining hall renovations, and potential roof and window replacements at a medium-security prison facility housing approximately 1,698 inmates. Deliverables include developing Owner's Project Requirements (OPR), conducting pre-TAB assessments, reviewing design documents, performing site observations, and verifying testing and balancing work for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and optional building envelope systems. The procurement requires a Georgia Peach certification with commissioning and will utilize a Construction Manager at Risk (CM/GC) delivery method. Key submission deadlines include RFQ responses due on January 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with finalist interviews scheduled for January 28, 2025, and commissioning agent services expected to commence in February 2025.

The solicitation has already shortlisted four firms for consideration: Abbeville Commissioning, Addison Energy Technologies, Setty & Associates International, and Total Systems Commissioning. While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned, the project demonstrates a comprehensive approach to facility upgrades with a significant budget allocation. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) is $30,000,000, broken down as $18,000,000 for campus-wide mechanical system upgrades, $12,000,000 for the new kitchen facility and equipment, and an optional $6,000,000 for envelope improvements including roofs and windows. The project's construction duration is estimated at 20 months, indicating a substantial and complex infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of Governor Brian P. Kemp and will be managed by the Georgia State Financing & Investment Commission Construction Division, located in Atlanta.
