Traffic signal installations

The City of College Park, located in Fulton County, Georgia, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive traffic signal installation project at the intersection of Roosevelt Highway (US 29), Camp Creek Parkway, and Lesley Drive. The Request for Proposal (RFP) 26-29 encompasses a full range of pre-construction and construction services, including site surveys, utility location, signal pole and hardware installation, roadway modifications with ADA-compliant pedestrian crosswalks, electrical connections, system testing, activation, and project closeout documentation. Qualified contractors must possess a minimum of five years of traffic signal installation experience, hold a valid Georgia Utility Contractor License, maintain GDOT prequalification, and employ at least one IMS-certified Traffic Signal Technician. The evaluation process will prioritize technical merit (60 points) and cost proposal (40 points), with emphasis on contractor qualifications, references, experience, and organizational stability. Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference held on November 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM (EST), with questions and clarifications due by November 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM (EST). Proposals must be electronically submitted via BidNet Direct by December 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM (EST).

The procurement offers local preference to businesses located within College Park city limits, with provisions for minority, woman-owned, and small business owners to submit competitive proposals. Contractors are required to provide a bid bond of at least 5 percent of the bid amount and, upon award, furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount within 10 days. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation coverage in accordance with Georgia law, commercial general liability insurance of $2,000,000 per occurrence, and professional liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder for an initial one-year term, with options to renew for four additional one-year periods. The City reserves the right to cancel the contract at any time through written notice, and post-award pricing negotiations may occur. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the required insurance and bonding suggest a substantial investment in modernizing the traffic signal infrastructure at this critical intersection.
