Proposals for Construction Management Services

The City of Cairo in Glascock County, Georgia is seeking proposals for construction management services related to a Rural Workforce Housing Initiative (RWFHI) project. The procurement is specifically targeting engineering firms licensed in Georgia with proven experience in assisting local governments with housing development programs. Firms must submit detailed proposals demonstrating qualifications in construction engineering and oversight services for public infrastructure improvements, with a primary focus on a new neighborhood development called Kennedy Place. The proposal must include comprehensive documentation such as firm history, experience with Department of Community Affairs (DCA) grant programs, key personnel qualifications, current workload, proposed service scope, project references, fee structures, and insurance documentation. Proposals are due by 5:00 pm on May 9th, 2025, with the city reserving the right to accept or reject any submissions. The contract is anticipated to be awarded within one year of the notice, with potential for additional project opportunities over the next 2-3 years.

The procurement strongly encourages Section 3 Business Concerns to apply, with specific provisions for businesses owned by low-income residents or those employing a significant percentage of low-income workers. Contractors must comply with HUD Act requirements and demonstrate efforts to recruit and employ Section 3 workers and businesses. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves developing a comprehensive residential community that includes 37 single-family lots, 66 row houses, 7 duplexes, 32 cluster homes, and multiple townhome configurations. Potential contractors should be prepared to provide documentation verifying Section 3 compliance, with non-compliance potentially resulting in contract termination or being banned from future HUD-funded projects. Interested parties must request copies of the Statement of Qualifications Form and Section 3 Certification Form from Dana Barfield at the City of Cairo before preparing their proposal, with all communication directed to 119 North Broad Street, Cairo, GA 39828, or via phone at (229) 377-1722, Extension 113.
