RFQ 26-277 Central Business District Corridor On-Street Parking and Curb Space Management Services

The City of Augusta, Georgia is requesting qualifications from firms to develop and implement Central Business District Corridor On-Street Parking and Curb Space Management Services for the Engineering and Environmental Services Department, with proposals due October 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The M/WBE Program requirement applies to all bids regardless of dollar amount, with specific goals potentially established if the contract value exceeds $300,000. The Local Small Business Program Preference has been waived due to insufficient certified firms available to meet minimum requirements.

Proposers must demonstrate five years of experience managing a full-service municipal on-street parking and curb management program meeting at least one threshold: 2,000 or more on-street paid parking spaces, $5 million or more in annual gross on-street parking revenue, 50,000 or more annual citations issued, or a full-service scope inclusive of enforcement, citation processing, revenue collection, and financial reconciliation. The scope includes evaluating existing conditions, collecting and analyzing parking occupancy data, conducting stakeholder engagement, assessing parking technology opportunities, developing a curbside management plan, providing financial analysis, reviewing parking policies, and creating a comprehensive parking management implementation plan with revenue projections. The CBD currently contains approximately 620 on-street parking spaces along Broad Street, approximately 1,300 spaces along CBD side streets and perimeter roads, and two public parking decks with roughly 1,400 spaces.

The evaluation process is two-phase: Phase I prescreening for completeness and conflict of interest (maximum 175 points) with the top three qualified proposers advancing to Phase II technical evaluation and presentations (maximum 325 points), for a combined maximum of 500 points. Evaluation criteria include qualifications and experience, organization and resources, references, scope of services quality control, project understanding and past performance, technical approach and schedule, and presentation by team.

An optional pre-qualifications conference is scheduled for September 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Proposals are limited to forty pages, excluding cover letters, procurement documents, and appendices. All required exhibits include business license, W-9 form, E-Verify affidavit, SAVE program affidavit, and M/WBE documentation. Submissions go to Andy Penick, Procurement Director, 535 Telfair Street, Suite 605, Augusta, Georgia 30901.
