RP001-27, Transportation Consultant Demand Professional Services on a Multi-Year Contract

Gwinnett County Department of Transportation (GCDOT), on behalf of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, is soliciting proposals for Transportation Consultant Demand Professional Services on a multi-year contract under RP001-27, with proposals due December 15, 2026 at 2:50 P.M. local time. The eligibility filter is GDOT prequalification: consultants must hold Georgia Department of Transportation prequalification in the appropriate Area-Classes for each service category and submit a current GDOT Notice of Professional Consultant Qualification with their proposals.

The solicitation covers five categories: pedestrian/bikeway and roadway drainage design (A), major roads, minor roads, and intersection improvement design (B), cost to cure design (C), survey services (D), and traffic engineering and ITS/ATMS engineering design (E). Mandatory use of OpenRoads Designer is required for plan submissions, and work must comply with current GDOT Electronic Data Guidelines and standards. Sub-consultants are permitted if identified with resumes, references, and GDOT prequalifications, and their rates must be included in the prime's rates. Successful consultants must provide insurance certificates within ten days of award.

The County intends to select a minimum of three firms per category, though that number is not guaranteed. Work is procured as-needed with no minimum or maximum guaranteed. The contract begins July 1, 2027 or upon award, with the first year ending December 31, 2027 and a term of up to five years. Hourly rates are submitted in a separate sealed envelope, are not scored, and remain subject to negotiation under the Brooks Act. Overhead, profit, and direct charges must be included in those rates, and the cost template allows annual rate escalation.

Technical evaluation totals 100 points: firm identification and experience (15), key personnel (30), understanding and approach (30), quality assurance/quality control (15), and references (10). Optional interviews add up to 20 points at GCDOT's discretion.

A virtual pre-proposal conference is set for November 13, 2026 at 2:00 P.M., and attendance is strongly recommended. Written questions go to Michael Milstein, Purchasing Associate II, by 3:00 P.M. on November 24, 2026. Proposals are submitted to the Gwinnett County Financial Services office in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and a virtual proposal opening follows receipt.
