RFQ-484-102725 Statewide Survey Database Checks and Survey Services

RFQ-484-102725 is a Qualifications Based Selection procurement issued by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for Statewide Survey Database Checks and Survey Services on an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) basis. The solicitation seeks a single qualified consultant firm to provide comprehensive survey services across Georgia's transportation infrastructure, including survey data collection and field checks for roadway alignment projects (per mile), bridge replacement projects (per bridge), and intersection upgrade projects (per intersection). Additional deliverables encompass right-of-way and easement staking, topographic surveys, centerline staking, property data enhancements, and Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) services for property and boundary surveys. All respondent teams must maintain current GDOT prequalification in Area Classes 5.01 (Land Surveying), 5.02 (Engineering Surveying), and 5.03 (Geodetic Surveying) for both prime consultants and subconsultants. The two-phase selection process evaluates Phase I qualifications based on project manager and key team leader experience (30%), additional resources and approach to challenges (20%), and prime consultant past performance (10%), with Phase II reserved for at least three shortlisted finalists and evaluating technical approach (40%). The Statement of Qualifications submission deadline is October 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with written questions due by October 14, 2025. The contract term is anticipated to be up to five years, with evaluation submissions requiring CMIS evaluation forms or alternative evaluation forms documenting past performance on similar IDIQ or on-call contracts.

An 11% overall annual Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal applies to federally funded projects, though an addendum issued on October 23, 2025, removed specific DBE program requirements and goals from the solicitation requirements and Phase II selection criteria. Prime consultants with aggregate contract amounts exceeding $250,000 must have submitted yearly CPA overhead audits and maintain compliant accounting systems meeting 48 CFR Part 31 requirements. Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. was selected as the successful offeror following the competitive process that included six finalists (Arcadis U.S., Inc., Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., Platinum Geomatics, LLC, and T2 UES, Inc. d/b/a T2 Utility Engineers, among others). The contract award amount is $4,000,000.00, reflecting the maximum contract value range established for this IDIQ procurement, with minimum contract value set at $25,000. Payment structures may include lump sum, cost plus fixed fee, cost per unit of work, or specific rate of compensation arrangements, though final pricing terms were subject to negotiation with the selected firm.
