2025-13 Sandersville Police Dept. Renovation Engineering Services

The City of Sandersville is soliciting qualifications from experienced engineering firms to undertake the design, feasibility studies, and development of construction drawings for the renovation of its police department located at 130 Malone Street. The project aims to assess the building’s current condition, explore rehabilitation options, and produce detailed plans for the upgrade, including space planning for a municipal court/council chamber, employee fitness center, and police administrative and operational areas. The contract value is estimated between $50,000 and $200,000, with the firm required to submit a comprehensive fee proposal, including the total cost for design meetings and drawings, along with an estimated project start date. The RFQ emphasizes the importance of firms demonstrating relevant experience in downtown redevelopment projects, the qualifications of assigned personnel, and effective communication with city officials. Bidders must submit four sealed copies of their proposals by December 2, 2025, at 3:00 PM, clearly marked “POLICE DEPT REHAB,” to the designated address. All submissions should include a completed W-9 form and a notarized contractor affidavit affirming compliance with O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91, requiring the use of the federal E-Verify program for all personnel and subcontractors involved in the project. The RFQ process is qualifications-based, with evaluation criteria focusing on experience, personnel expertise, project approach, and communication skills, though no specific scoring weights are provided. Questions regarding the project must be submitted in writing by November 25, 2025, with responses posted via addendum on the city’s website. The city reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, and no formal contract type or detailed performance schedule is specified beyond the submission deadline and general scope.
