The Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) is soliciting responses from registered architects and engineers for the GDC-24-COASTAL-SP-001 Locking Control Upgrade Design project at the Coastal State Prison in Chatham County, Georgia. The scope of work includes the design of a campus-wide locking control system upgrade, encompassing new lock enclosures and locks, door position switches, hinges, a PLC-based control system, paging and intercom systems, millwork in control rooms, and integration of various facility controls and camera systems. Interested firms must submit a letter of interest, a Statement of Qualifications (SF 330), and a notarized Contractor Affidavit by the June 11, 2024 deadline. A mandatory site visit for design professionals is scheduled for May 28, 2024, prior to the submission deadline. Following an initial evaluation, three or more highly qualified firms will be invited for interviews, and their sealed proposals must be submitted by the end of the interview time.

This is a qualifications-based selection process, and the GDC reserves the right to reject any or all submissions and waive technicalities at their discretion. No pricing information or funding details are provided. The successful firm will be responsible for schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding assistance, and construction contract administration services. The notice does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
