PNA-484-121825 (Lighting Engineering and Design Services)

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Lighting Engineering and Design Services, designated as PNA-484-121825, covering two regions encompassing counties in Districts 1-7. The procurement seeks on-call lighting engineering consultants to develop comprehensive lighting plans for transportation infrastructure, including roadways, interchanges, intersections, tunnels, and underpasses. Prime consultants must be prequalified in Highway Lighting (Area Class 3.15) and possess qualifications in related technical areas such as Land Surveying, Engineering Surveying, Soil Survey Studies, and Geological Studies. The RFQ will be officially issued on November 14, 2025, with Statements of Qualifications due by December 18, 2025. Selected consultants will work under limited supervision to create lighting designs that can be integrated into parent construction projects or implemented as standalone lighting initiatives. A critical communication restriction is in place, prohibiting firms from communicating with GDOT staff about the solicitation from the advertisement date until the official award announcement. The primary contact for this procurement is Chanda Carreker in GDOT's Office of Procurement in Atlanta.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available materials. The RFQ does not provide specific award values or explicit budget ranges for the lighting engineering services. The procurement covers a broad geographic area across multiple districts, suggesting potential for multiple contract awards or a significant scope of work. The strict prequalification requirements indicate GDOT's emphasis on technical expertise and prior experience in transportation lighting design. Prospective respondents must carefully review the full RFQ documentation to ensure complete compliance with the technical and administrative requirements. While specific financial details are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-district coverage suggest a potentially substantial contract opportunity for qualified engineering consulting firms specializing in transportation infrastructure lighting design.
