RFQ For Engineering Services

The City of Rockmart is requesting qualifications from professional civil engineering firms to provide engineering services for general civil, environmental, and transportation projects over a 24-month period, with proposals due August 18, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.

Respondents must demonstrate a strong record providing engineering services to local governments in Georgia and experience with Federally Assisted Projects — the stated capability filters. The City may select different engineering firms for individual projects from among the respondents rather than naming a single awardee. Services span concept report preparation and validation, utility plans, surveys and mapping, preliminary and final construction plans, right-of-way plans with staking, erosion control plans, structural plans, permit assistance, specifications and bid documents, and development plan reviews. Projects fall into four categories: utility improvements (water, sewer, and stormwater), large transportation (new alignments, road widening, repairs and maintenance), small transportation (sidewalks, paths, trails), and site development and facility planning.

Evaluation criteria weight relevant previous experience at 30 percent, experience with Federally Assisted Projects at 20 percent, scope and level of services at 20 percent, methodology and approach at 10 percent, demonstrated capacity to complete assignments at 10 percent, and cost effectiveness of the proposed remuneration schedule at 10 percent. Proposals must include firm qualifications, relevant experience with Georgia local governments and Federally Assisted Projects, resumes of key personnel, scope and methodology, statements on current workload and financial strength, documentation of financial stability, rate schedules for various service categories, and proof of authorization to do business in Georgia with all necessary licenses. Firms must submit an original and four copies of the proposal in a sealed envelope to Delmos Stone, Planning Director, City Hall, 316 N. Piedmont Avenue, Rockmart, GA 30153. No specific contract value or funding sources are identified; firms provide their own rate schedules for negotiation. All submitted materials become the property of the City and are subject to public inspection under the Georgia Open Records Act.
