School Track, Field, and Associated Improvements (Design Build)

The Atlanta Independent School System (APS) is seeking a design-build contractor to execute comprehensive improvements across five educational facilities in Fulton County, Georgia. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 6874dfd9f4a12675e30f686e, specifically targets track, field, and associated infrastructure enhancements at BEST Academy, Coretta Scott King Young Womens Leadership Academy, South Atlanta High School, Carver High School, Fredrick Douglass High School, and Eddie S Henderson Stadium. The design-build services will require a comprehensive approach, encompassing both architectural design and construction implementation for these educational sites. The solicitation was posted on July 8, 2025, with proposals due by August 7, 2025, providing potential contractors approximately 30 days to prepare and submit comprehensive design-build solutions. Qualified contractors must demonstrate expertise in educational facility infrastructure improvements, with a particular focus on track and field renovations, and possess the technical capabilities to manage complex, multi-site improvement projects.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, design-build contractors should anticipate potential local or state requirements for minority or disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The project's scope suggests a significant capital investment, though exact budget ranges are not specified in the current solicitation. Given the multi-site nature of the improvements and the involvement of a major metropolitan school system, potential contractors should expect a comprehensive evaluation process that likely considers technical competence, past performance, design innovation, construction methodology, and cost-effectiveness. The procurement appears to be open to qualified design-build firms with demonstrable experience in educational facility infrastructure improvements, particularly those with track record of successful athletic facility renovations. Interested contractors should carefully review the full solicitation documents and be prepared to provide detailed design concepts, construction timelines, and comprehensive project management strategies for these five distinct educational sites.
