The City of Albany is requesting sealed proposals for a comprehensive stormwater master plan under RFP #27-020, with proposals due October 12, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. at 222 Pine Avenue, Suite 260, Albany, Georgia.

The scope encompasses hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the City's drainage infrastructure—open channels, ditches, canals, storm sewer pipe networks, detention ponds, pump stations, and combined sewer legacy areas—to address localized flooding, sedimentation, aging infrastructure, inadequate conveyance capacity, and water quality concerns. Deliverables include GIS integration, resiliency planning, asset management planning, and long-term implementation strategies.

Proposers must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and participate in the Federal Work Authorization Program (E-Verify). The successful contractor must carry liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, plus statutory Workers Compensation coverage and Employers Liability of at least $1 million.

The City will evaluate proposals on three criteria: Qualifications and Experience (40%), Project Approach and Understanding (35%), and References and Portfolio (25%). Proposers must provide at least three client references from the past seven years and submit links or attachments to at least three similar projects.

Submissions must include one original and six copies on company letterhead with an authorized signature. A pre-proposal conference will be held. The City may require oral presentations from selected firms. No payment will be made for proposal preparation costs prior to contract execution. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, re-advertise, postpone, or cancel the RFQ process at its sole discretion.
