Sidewalk Design Services

The City of Stonecrest, Georgia has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP-0010-25) for Sidewalk Design Services within city limits, specifically targeting four distinct locations: Salem Road, Fairington Road (Phase II), Phillips Road, and Iris Drive. The procurement seeks qualified engineering firms to provide comprehensive civil engineering design services for sidewalk projects ranging from 700 to 1,300 linear feet. Deliverables include detailed construction plans, specifications, scope of work, engineering cost estimates, GDOT encroachment permits, and utility coordination. The sidewalk designs must meet specific technical requirements, including 5-foot width, wheelchair accessibility with ADA-compliant ramps, and compliance with Georgia Department of Transportation standards. The evaluation process will utilize a "best value" methodology, scoring proposals across categories such as firm profile, team qualifications, approach, references, and price, with a minimum score of 70 points required for responsiveness. Proposals are due on October 22, 2025, by 3:00 PM EST and must be electronically submitted via Bidnet, with an anticipated contract period of 24 months.

The RFP demonstrates an interest in promoting fair business opportunities, with the City of Stonecrest's Purchasing Policy indicating a preference for products manufactured in Georgia and support for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). While specific set-aside percentages are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the policy suggests a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Proposers must comply with various state regulations, including the Drug-Free Workplace Act, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, and E-Verify requirements. Insurance requirements are substantial, with contractors needing to maintain commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence), professional liability ($1M per occurrence), business automobile liability ($1M combined single limit), and workers' compensation insurance. Although exact budget ranges are not specified, the RFP indicates that compensation will be structured with fees not to exceed amounts detailed in the contract exhibits. The City reserves the right to negotiate with top-ranked firms and will make the final selection based on the most advantageous proposal, suggesting flexibility in the procurement process.
