RFQ-484-111224 Aerial Photography, LIDAR and Survey Services

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit statements of qualifications from firms to provide aerial photography, LiDAR, and surveying services. The contract will be an on-call, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity agreement with a term of 3 years, with an option to extend for up to 5 additional years. The scope of services includes aerial photography, LiDAR, and surveying, and GDOT seeks to identify potential providers for these services. Firms deemed sufficiently qualified through the evaluation process may be invited to submit a technical approach and potentially present or interview for these services. The contract will have a minimum value of $25,000 and a maximum of $8,000,000, and pricing may be lump sum, cost plus fixed fee, cost per unit of work, or specific rate of compensation.

GDOT has established an 11% overall annual goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation on federally funded projects, and the selected consultant must meet specific area class requirements and have an accounting system compliant with federal cost principles. The RFQ notification indicates that six firms have been selected as finalists, but does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFQ addendum addresses written questions received during the question and answer period, providing clarification on the contract terms and DBE requirements.
