RFQ for City Engineer

The City of Forsyth, Georgia is seeking qualified firms to provide Professional Engineering & Consulting Services for the City Engineer contract through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The selected firm will be responsible for comprehensive engineering services, including transportation engineering, civil engineering, and building permitting/inspection services across multiple domains such as highway/roadway design, structures, surveying, stormwater management, sidewalk design, and ADA compliance. Firms must possess a minimum of ten years of experience and demonstrate expertise in municipal engineering projects. The RFQ requires submission of one original, five hard copies, and one digital copy by January 17th, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST. Evaluation will be conducted using a 100-point scoring system with five equally weighted categories: Experience of Assigned Personnel, Firms/Suitability - Capability/Resources, Experience with Similar Entity, Availability, and Hourly Rates & Fee Schedule. The contract term is anticipated to begin in March 2025, with potential annual renewals for up to five years.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating $1 million in General Liability (single occurrence), $2 million aggregate, $1 million Auto Liability, statutory Workers' Compensation, and $3 million Umbrella Liability. The projects will be locally funded without federal funding involvement, and the city reserves the right to contract with multiple engineering firms. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the city will contact selected firms as needed for specific project proposals. The opportunity is open to professional engineering firms with demonstrated municipal engineering experience, particularly those with comprehensive capabilities across multiple engineering disciplines. The contract structure suggests flexibility in project assignments and a potential long-term partnership with the City of Forsyth through the possible five-year renewal option.
