On Call Professional Services ¿ Engineering and Park Design & Related Services

The City of Johns Creek, Georgia has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #25-289 for On-Call Professional Services targeting engineering and park design services across 13 distinct service categories. The procurement seeks to select a minimum of two qualified, professionally licensed firms for services including major and minor road design, structural engineering, surveying, geotechnical engineering, environmental studies, traffic studies, stormwater engineering, landscape design, construction engineering and inspection, architectural services, and park design. Proposals are due on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point system, assessing firm experience (10 points), key personnel experience (30 points), understanding and approach (30 points), references (15 points), and fee evaluation (15 points). Firms must submit six hard copies of technical proposals and one electronic copy, with the contract term running from the date of execution until September 30, 2026, and options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Successful consultants must be pre-qualified with the Georgia Department of Transportation and will be expected to provide detailed scopes of work, milestone schedules, deliverables, and proposed fees for individual task orders.

The City strongly encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) and prohibits the use of subcontractors, requiring firms to perform services with internal staff. Potential project types include operations and safety improvements, traffic congestion relief, bridge and retaining wall projects, landscape and streetscape design, pedestrian and multi-modal improvements, and park-related developments. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the on-call nature of the contract suggests flexible, task order-based agreements with pricing determined by hourly rates submitted in the cost proposal. Consultants must maintain specific insurance coverages and comply with various legal and ethical requirements. The procurement allows for lump sum task order agreements, with the city reserving the right to negotiate with one or more consultants. Firms will be selected through a qualification-based evaluation process, with the intent of establishing a pool of pre-qualified engineering and design service providers to support the City of Johns Creek's infrastructure and park development needs.
