TCSG-409-DP Transportation and Logistics Training Center, Wiregrass Technical College

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Technical College System of Georgia and Wiregrass Technical College, is seeking qualified design firms to provide services for the TCSG-409 Transportation and Logistics Training Center project in Valdosta, Georgia. The project involves the construction of a new 14,500 GSF instructional facility and a 72,900 SF CTD backing pad. The selected design firm will utilize a Design-Bid-Build delivery method and the Owner's project management software, eBuilder. The selection process will occur in two steps - an initial Request for Qualifications and then a Request for Interviews of the finalist firms. Statements of Qualifications are due on August 14, 2024, and the Owner plans to complete the design and begin construction in late summer 2025, with material completion by summer 2026. The project has a preliminary construction cost estimate of $8,000,000, and the Owner desires sustainable design concepts be incorporated where feasible.

The Owner encourages participation by minority-owned, woman-owned, and small business enterprises, and contractors who utilize qualified minority subcontractors may qualify for Georgia state income tax credits. The contract will be the standard GSFIC Design Professional Contract Agreement, and there are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors. The project has no set-aside designations, and the available budget range is approximately $8,000,000.
