Henry County, Georgia Board of Commissioners has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #26-24 for the fabrication and installation of wayfinding signage. This procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive services including pre-construction verification and surveying, subsurface utility coordination, production drawing development, Georgia Department of Transportation approval and permitting, sign fabrication, construction and installation with demolition of existing signage, ADA and MUTCD compliance documentation, as-built drawings, and attendance at monthly progress meetings. The project involves fabricating two-sided developer signs featuring 1/4-inch thick aluminum panels approximately 4 feet 8 inches in height mounted on 4-inch square aluminum posts with decorative finials, installed via core-drilled concrete footings with breakaway connections compliant with GDOT safety standards. All work must comply with Georgia/Henry County wind load codes, thermal deformation requirements over a 150-degree Fahrenheit range, and local ADA compliance standards, with graphic panels applied using 3M Scotchcal vinyl or equivalent materials and digitally printed components using pigment-based ink. Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted scoring system allocating 35 points for qualifications and relevant experience, 20 points for experience and availability of key staff, 35 points for methodology and technical approach, 5 points for cost proposal, and 5 points for DBE participation.
