About this opportunity
Augusta Recreation and Parks Department (ARPD) is requesting qualifications from engineering and architectural firms for redevelopment planning and ongoing management of Vernon Forrest Park, with proposals due August 14, 2026, and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on July 29. M/WBE program requirements apply to all bids; subcontracting goals and Good Faith Efforts documentation are required for contracts exceeding $300,000.
The scope encompasses schematic, preliminary, and final design plans; civil, architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and landscaping design; geotechnical investigation; green and sustainable design implementation; construction estimate development and professional opinions of probable cost; construction document preparation; public meeting facilitation; and construction contract administration and observation. Proposals must not include fee proposals; instead, bidders must demonstrate ability to provide funding for park redevelopment and ongoing maintenance without utilizing Augusta's budget, with proposed grants and other funding sources identified.
Evaluation carries maximum total score of 500 points: qualifications and experience (20 points), organization and approach (20 points), scope of services understanding (30 points), schedule of work (5 points), financial stability (5 points), references (5 points), team presentation (10 points), and Q&A responses (5 points). The selection committee will short-list no fewer than three firms before proceeding with interviews and final negotiations.
The contract term extends from Notice-to-Proceed through agreed project end date for construction, renovation, or repair projects; no automatic renewal options are specified. The Department intends to qualify a single firm but reserves the right to award to multiple firms. Questions are due in writing by July 31 at 5:00 p.m. The mandatory site visit follows the July 29 pre-proposal conference. Submissions must include one unbound original and one electronic copy on USB drive. Notarized Exhibit A documentation covering business license, non-discrimination statements, non-collusion affidavits, conflict of interest disclosures, E-Verify compliance, and SAVE program verification is required. All procurement records are subject to Georgia's Open Records Act.
