The City of Douglas, Georgia, is seeking professional services for a comprehensive World War II Flight Training Base Master Plan through RFP #66812-26-0012. The project aims to develop a guiding document for preservation, adaptive reuse, and long-term management of a historic site, with key deliverables including research, documentation, site assessments, stakeholder engagement, and implementation planning.

The evaluation criteria include a 100-point scoring system covering experience and qualifications (20 points), project understanding (20 points), schedule and deliverables (20 points), community engagement (20 points), federal compliance (10 points), and references (10 points). Critical deadlines include site visit scheduling by December 11, 2025, questions submission by 5:00 PM on the same date, and proposal submissions due by January 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

Consultant fees are contingent upon reimbursement through the grant, with invoices processed only after approval of deliverables by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. No specific budget range is provided in the documentation, but the comprehensive nature of the master plan suggests a significant professional services contract.
