JAIL ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION and MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Fulton County Government is seeking proposals for a comprehensive Jail Elevator Modernization and Maintenance Services project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management. The solicitation calls for a qualified contractor to modernize nine elevator systems (three hydraulic and six traction) located at the Fulton County Jail at 901 Rice Street in Atlanta, Georgia. The project requires the successful bidder to provide complete engineering, labor, materials, transportation, services, and equipment necessary to upgrade the elevator infrastructure, including interim preventive maintenance, warranty preventive maintenance, and continuing maintenance services. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit is scheduled for September 18, 2025, with final proposals due on October 16, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. The total project duration is 560 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, followed by a five-year maintenance period. The evaluation will be conducted using a 100-point scale, with points allocated across project approach (23%), technical systems (13%), project team qualifications (15%), past performance (12%), key personnel availability (10%), local preference (5%), service-disabled veterans preference (2%), and cost proposal (20%).

The procurement includes specific set-aside designations for minority and disadvantaged business enterprises, with 11.49% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 2.62% Female Business Enterprise (FBE) work category availability. The solicitation provides preferences for local businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, which can potentially impact the evaluation scoring. Bidders must complete extensive compliance documentation, including Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Affidavits, Disclosure Forms, Professional License Certifications, and various non-discrimination attestations. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the project is funded through Fulton County's budget under funding code 9999-503-520-5200-G064. The county reserves the right to award the contract to the most advantageous proposer based on the comprehensive evaluation criteria, with a focus on technical capability, experience, and overall project approach.
