KSU Campus ALTA Survey, SUE and GIS - Project No. 777-25-125

Kennesaw State University (KSU) is soliciting statements of qualifications for a comprehensive land surveying project (Project No. 777-25-125) involving ALTA Survey, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), and Geographic Information System (GIS) services across its Marietta and Kennesaw campuses. The base scope covers 199.478 acres across 7 parcels on the Marietta Campus, with an alternate scope for 185.384 acres across 65 parcels on the Kennesaw Campus. Required deliverables include monumentation, flood zone classification, vertical relief documentation, building dimensions, parking space inventory, and utility infrastructure documentation meeting ASCE 38-22 standards. Firms must possess a professional liability insurance of $2 million, current Georgia Professional Surveyor's and Engineering licenses, and an Experience Modification Rating of 1.2 or less. Evaluation criteria will focus on firm stability (25%), relevant project experience (45%), and service suitability (30%). Key procurement dates include the RFQ submission deadline of January 14, 2025, finalist notifications by January 21, 2025, and final interviews and fee proposals due on February 5, 2025. The base scope work is scheduled to begin in February 2025, with ALTA Survey and SUE completion required by June 1, 2025, and GIS development to be completed by November 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Addendum 5 revealed that twelve firms submitted qualifications, with three shortlisted candidates: Atlas Technical Consultants LLC, Rochester | DCCM, and Surveying and Mapping LLC (SAM). The project requires a GIS Analyst with GISP certification and mandates a Professional Engineer for SUE oversight. Specific technical requirements include Quality Level-A (QL-A) utility mapping with depths, data storage in KSU's Enterprise or ArcGIS Online Organizational Account, and transfer of licensing ownership to KSU upon project completion. While no specific budget range was provided in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the survey and mapping services suggests a significant project investment. The contract will include 12 months of post-project GIS system administration, indicating a potential long-term engagement beyond the initial survey and mapping work.
