PNA 484-090826 Government Estimator Contract Services (State Funded)

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is announcing an upcoming Request for Qualifications for two statewide Government Estimator Contract Services awards, with Statements of Qualifications due September 8, 2026. This is a Public Notice of Advertisement; the RFQ itself will be issued August 7, 2026. Prime Consultants awarded either contract will be exclusive to GDOT and prohibited from competing on any future GDOT Design-Bid-Build contracts during the contract's life. Sub-consultants face similar exclusivity restrictions unless released by the Department at its discretion, with limited exceptions allowing participation on Design-Bid-Build bridge contracts on a case-by-case basis if no conflict of interest exists.

The scope encompasses programmatic and project management support services assisting GDOT in transitioning projects from Preliminary Engineering funding authorization through the beginning of preliminary design activities by developing project scope, schedule, and budget. The engagement will require qualified team leaders in three key areas: Roadway Lead, Bridge Lead, and Environmental Lead. Prime Consultants and all sub-consultants must meet extensive Area Class requirements spanning documentation, environmental studies, traffic and roadway design, bridge design, surveying, aerial photography, and utility engineering capabilities.

All engaged consultants must maintain GDOT's interests as paramount and disclose any real or perceived conflicts with other Department work. GDOT has imposed a strict communication restriction from the advertisement date through award announcement, prohibiting all contact with GDOT staff regarding this solicitation except for formal question submissions outlined in the RFQ. Violation of this communication restriction may result in rejection of the offending respondent's submittal. Inquiries should be directed to Michael Woolfolk at the GDOT Office of Procurement Engineering and Design.
