Police Department Shop Expansion

The City of Douglasville, located in Douglas County, Georgia, has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025-009 for a Police Department Shop Expansion project. The procurement seeks a contractor to construct a 1,801-square-foot addition to the existing Police Department shop building, specifically designed for motor vehicle repair, and a 1,720-square-foot open vehicle storage shelter/pavilion intended for RV and ATV storage. The project requires the selected contractor to obtain necessary permits, manage inspections, provide on-site project management, develop a comprehensive project schedule, conduct job meetings, maintain detailed documentation, and ensure quality control throughout construction. Proposal evaluation will be based on four primary criteria: 30% weight on experience and qualifications, 25% on project approach and schedule, 20% on cost proposal and value, and 25% on past performance and references. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST at the Douglasville Police Department, with proposals due by December 1, 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must comply with local, county, state, and federal codes and provide comprehensive documentation, including firm information, project experience, and staffing management details. The project requires bidders to submit a bid bond of 5% of the total bid and performance and payment bonds of 100% of the contract sum. The City reserves the right to reject bids from contractors with problematic past performance or those who have previously failed to complete similar contracts on schedule. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documentation, the project involves substantial construction work with specific square footage requirements for both the shop expansion and vehicle storage shelter. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and prior experience in similar municipal construction projects to be considered for this opportunity.
