The State of Georgia has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-02 for comprehensive design-build services for a new Police Headquarters project. This procurement seeks a qualified design-build firm to provide full architectural, engineering, and construction services for developing a new facility. The solicitation requires responding firms to demonstrate extensive experience in municipal public safety building design and construction, with a focus on creating a functional, modern police headquarters. Key deliverables are expected to include complete architectural plans, engineering specifications, site design, construction documentation, and final turnkey facility delivery. Interested firms must submit comprehensive qualification packages by March 18, 2025, which will be evaluated based on the firm's previous project experience, technical capabilities, team qualifications, past performance with similar municipal projects, and demonstrated understanding of complex public safety facility requirements. The procurement timeline indicates the initial qualification submission deadline, with potential subsequent stages of proposal refinement and potential interviews with shortlisted candidates.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, design-build firms interested in responding should anticipate potential local or state requirements regarding minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The project appears to be a significant municipal infrastructure investment, suggesting potential opportunities for joint ventures or subcontractor partnerships. Although the exact budget range is not specified in the initial RFQ documentation, municipal police headquarters projects typically represent substantial capital investments ranging from $10 million to $50 million, depending on facility size, complexity, and local market conditions. Potential respondents should carefully review all documentation to ensure full compliance with submission requirements, technical specifications, and local procurement regulations. Firms with demonstrated experience in municipal public safety facility design and construction will likely be most competitive in this procurement opportunity.
