The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections, is issuing a Request for Qualifications and Fee Proposal for mechanical and plumbing specialist services at state prison facilities statewide. The procurement seeks a qualified company capable of providing ten or more skilled mechanical and plumbing technicians to work directly under GDC supervision performing repair and maintenance of mechanical and plumbing systems throughout the fiscal year. Plumbing services include installation and repair of fixtures such as sinks, toilets, showers, water heaters, and gas and water lines, while mechanical services encompass installation, repair, and maintenance of air handling units, chillers, boilers, and steam systems. The contract is scheduled to commence in spring 2026 and be completed by the second quarter of 2027, with potential extensions for additional terms. Proposals will be evaluated using a single-step approach weighted 60 percent on qualifications and experience and 40 percent on value provided relative to costs and experience. All selected staff must pass background checks and comply with GDC Standard Operating Procedures. The deadline for written questions is April 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with Statements of Qualifications due April 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and selection announcement expected by May 7, 2026.

Proposers must demonstrate current Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus umbrella liability coverage of at least $5,000,000. Fee proposals should include hourly rates for labor, overtime, and overnight work, with rates covering overhead, profit, and travel costs, assuming 40-hour work weeks.

Georgia residents and minority-owned, women-owned, and small business enterprises are encouraged to participate and may be eligible for Georgia state income tax credits for qualified minority subcontractor payments. The procurement contains no identified restrictions on organization types, though the owner reserves the right to award one or more contracts. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are specified in the available documentation. The specific award value or budget range has not been disclosed in the procurement materials; pricing will be evaluated competitively based on the submitted fee proposals and qualifications of responding firms.
