RFQ # 2026-326-001 Tanger Blvd at Indian Creek Intersection Design

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Locust Grove, Georgia, for professional design services to transform the intersection of Tanger Boulevard and Indian Creek Road from a traditional 4-way stop intersection into a roundabout design based on prior Interchange Collision Evaluation (ICE) analysis findings. The scope of work encompasses survey data collection, roadway design, right-of-way documentation, drainage design, and production of complete final construction plans suitable for contractor use, with a 360-calendar-day completion timeline from notice to proceed. Consulting firms must be prequalified with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in Area Class 3.02 (Two-Lane or Multi-lane Urban Roadway Design) and collectively hold prequalifications in NEPA documentation, traffic studies, hydraulic and hydrological studies, land surveying, landscape architecture, traffic control systems, and bicycle and pedestrian facility design. Submissions must include one unbound original and four bound copies of qualification documents plus a digital PDF version on a USB drive, accompanied by W-9 forms, non-collusion and non-discrimination certifications, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act affidavits, proof of GDOT prequalification, and insurance documentation including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and professional liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence). Sealed qualifications must be received by June 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the City of Locust Grove offices, with a deadline for clarification requests at 4:00 PM on March 15, 2026, and the first addendum deadline at 5:00 PM on March 22, 2026. Evaluation criteria include firm qualifications (30 points), experience on similar projects (30 points), available resources (15 points), responsiveness to RFQ (15 points), professional references (10 points), and potential additional points (up to 15) for oral presentations, with the evaluation committee conducting interviews with finalist firms before final selection and contract award by City Council.

The document does not explicitly identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent eligibility beyond the mandatory GDOT prequalification requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the procurement documents. The project is funded through the City of Locust Grove's SPLOST VI Program (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax), though the specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation. All qualified consulting firms meeting the GDOT prequalification and insurance requirements are eligible to submit qualifications. The procurement does not reference any existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration beyond the foundational elements of the previous ICE study analysis that will inform the roundabout design concept.
