MCD-CED-RFP-FY27-001 Design-Build Services for Future City Hall Renovation

The City of McDonough is requesting sealed proposals for Design-Build services for phased renovation of its future City Hall at 235 Keys Ferry Court, McDonough, Georgia, with proposals due August 14, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST and a mandatory pre-proposal site visit on July 23, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The scope encompasses comprehensive preconstruction, architectural, engineering, and construction services across three phases: Phase I (Second Floor executive offices and administrative functions), Phase II (Third Floor Finance Department and training facilities), and Phase III (First Floor Mayor and Council Chambers). Deliverables include existing-conditions assessment, programming, building-wide master planning, architectural and engineering design, cost estimating, permitting, construction administration, and project closeout. The Design-Build Team must also develop a preliminary project schedule and Opinion of Probable Construction Cost for each phase, though these planning-level estimates are not binding commitments or Guaranteed Maximum Prices.

Cost proposals must organize professional services fees by category (existing conditions assessment, programming, master planning, architectural design, engineering design, cost estimating, permitting, construction administration, and project management) and identify construction fee structure (general conditions, construction management fees, overhead, and profit margins).

Evaluation uses best-value scoring: Project Understanding and Technical Approach (20 points), Design Approach and Innovation (15 points), Project Team Qualifications (20 points), Relevant Experience (20 points), Space Planning and Operational Functionality (10 points), Preliminary Project Schedule (5 points), and Cost Proposal (10 points). The selected firm must furnish Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of construction contract value, maintain comprehensive insurance, comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements including E-Verify participation, and comply with the Georgia Drug-Free Workplace Act. Questions are due August 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Proposals must be submitted as one sealed original hard copy and one electronic PDF copy on USB drive to 136 Keys Ferry Street, McDonough, GA 30253.
