RFP# 25-017 on-call proffessional engineering & landscape architectural services

The City of Fairburn, Georgia (Fulton County) has issued RFP #25-017 for on-call professional engineering and landscape architectural services to support the Community Development Department. The procurement seeks qualified consultants to provide civil engineering, site development plan review, and landscape architectural services, including plan review for Land Disturbance Permits, site visits, multiple review cycles, preconstruction meetings, coordination with developers and City staff, final site inspections, and potential expansion to design services as needed. Proposals must not exceed 15 pages (excluding cover letters, dividers, tables of contents, and resumes) and must include one unbound original and four bound copies, accompanied by a separate sealed fee proposal of no more than two pages detailing hourly rates by staff position and itemized reimbursable expenses. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Firm/Staff Qualifications (30%), Similar Clients/Contracts (20%), Past Performance (20%), Project Understanding (20%), and Project Administration (10%), with the City reserving the right to award to one consultant or split awards among multiple respondents. Respondents must provide current General Liability Insurance and Professional Liability Insurance documentation and submit a minimum of three client references (five preferred) for similar services completed within the past five years. Proposals are due at the City of Fairburn Administration Building (314 NW Broad Street, Fairburn, Georgia 30213) by 2:00 p.m. on October 30, 2025, with written technical questions accepted until October 17, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.; evaluation is expected to be completed by November 14, 2025, with Notice of Award anticipated by November 25, 2025. The contract term is five years.

Respondents must comply with federal and state employment and nondiscrimination laws, including provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), and must disclose all potential conflicts of interest (though statements attesting to the absence of conflicts are acceptable in lieu of detailed disclosures). The City accepts firms consisting of landscape architects without in-house civil engineers, though firms with both disciplines are preferred. No estimated contract budget has been disclosed, and the City will not reimburse costs for proposal preparation or respondent travel. There are no identified incumbent vendors or current contractors listed, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified. The City reserves the right to conduct interviews or award based solely on written proposals and retains all rights to submitted materials.
