RFP 26-007 Zoning Updates

The City of Fairburn, Georgia is requesting proposals for comprehensive zoning ordinance updates under RFP 26-007, with proposals due June 23, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. local time via Bidnet. No set-aside or preference program applies.

The scope comprises four tasks: a complete zoning ordinance rewrite incorporating district updates, modernized use tables, parking standards, and procedure revisions with a minimum of four public presentations and six stakeholder interviews; a sign ordinance rewrite with content-neutral regulatory structure and district-based standards; overlay district review and modernization; and consolidation and codification of citywide design standards into an enforceable framework with a minimum of thirty regulatory graphics. The deliverables are to be modern, user-friendly, and grounded in existing audit findings and adopted plans.

Pricing must be submitted as lump-sum fees separated by individual task, with detailed cost breakdowns including all labor, meetings, travel, materials, and administrative costs. The contract is structured as a possible multi-year agreement with three-year renewal options. No specific funding amount is identified in the RFP.

Evaluation is weighted as follows: responsiveness and completeness (pass/fail); experience and qualifications (25%); work plan and schedule (25%); environmental protection and safety measures (15%); total price and value (25%); and references and past performance (10%). The City reserves the right to award based on best overall value rather than lowest cost.

Contractors must comply with Georgia's E-Verify federal work authorization requirements, provide proof of drug-free workplace certification, and submit non-collusion and debarment affidavits. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability, professional liability, and automobile liability of $500,000 each.

An optional pre-proposal conference will be held via Microsoft Teams on June 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Questions are due June 11, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
