About this opportunity
The South Fulton Community Improvement District (CID) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Freight Cluster Plan with a Sustainability Focus, seeking experienced firms in freight and sustainable transportation planning. The project aims to develop policies and projects that improve workforce quality of life, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance freight transportation efficiency. Key deliverables include comprehensive reports, project plans, and electronic files in various formats, covering six main tasks: project management, stakeholder engagement, best practices review, inventory and assessment, recommendations development, and documentation preparation. Proposals will be evaluated based on related experience and qualifications (40%), technical approach (30%), work plan and schedule (25%), and cost/fee (5%). The RFP requires electronic proposal submission by 4:00 PM ET on September 10, 2025, with technical questions due by August 20, 2025. Short-listed firms may be interviewed during the week of September 22, 2025, with contract award anticipated in October 2025, and the entire project expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.
The CID encourages meaningful Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, targeting the Atlanta Regional Commission's goal of 16.7%. The project study area encompasses portions of Palmetto, Fairburn, Union City, and South Fulton within Fulton County, with the study reach extending 3-5 miles beyond CID boundaries to include major warehouses and industrial sites. The total available funding is $310,000, with the project partially funded by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and contingent upon adequate funding from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the US Department of Transportation. Consultants must provide detailed budget breakdowns, including hours and rates by person, and be prepared to sign a contract that undertakes obligations required by GDOT. The RFP specifically seeks firms or teams with expertise in freight and sustainable transportation planning, analysis, and policy development, with the ultimate goal of creating a comprehensive freight cluster plan that supports sustainable practices and economic development in the South Fulton area.
