The City of Sandy Springs is soliciting design services for the Project S2103, aimed at enhancing safety and operational efficiency at the intersection of Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Johnson Ferry Road in Georgia. This procurement, identified under solicitation number PE-66098-NONST-2026-000000134, is open for responses until June 30, 2026, with all submissions required to be made electronically through the Bonfire Portal. The scope of work, detailed in Exhibit A, includes comprehensive design services such as planning, design development, permitting coordination, construction documentation, and construction-phase support, with all deliverables—drawings, specifications, reports, and estimates—required to be submitted in searchable PDF and native editable formats compliant with ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. Performance must adhere to Georgia Department of Transportation standards and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, with the City retaining authority to determine substantial completion and final acceptance at the project site. The contract imposes stringent compliance obligations under Georgia state law, including mandatory E-Verify enrollment for all employees and subcontractors performing work in Georgia, certification of a drug-free workplace, and adherence to the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, which requires non-citizens to provide documentation of lawful presence and their Alien Registration Number. Insurance requirements are robust, mandating professional liability coverage of $5 million per claim and aggregate, cyber liability coverage of $1 million, and ongoing coverage for 36 months after final payment. Key personnel listed in Exhibit F must be retained unless prior written approval for substitution is granted, and any conflict of interest, including those arising from subcontractor selections, is strictly prohibited under Article 27. Evaluation of proposals is based on a trade-off approach, where technical merit and cost are jointly assessed; the fee proposal is weighted at only 10 points, with the remaining 90 points reserved for undisclosed technical factors. Invoicing is monthly and regulated by Exhibit E and Article 9, with payment contingent upon annual city appropriations and no formal accounting codes or electronic invoicing systems like WAWF specified. The contract is governed by Georgia law, with jurisdiction in Fulton County, and includes detailed exhibits covering insurance, Title VI compliance, and submission formats with strict page limits—none of which are permitted to exceed the specified thresholds, emphasizing brevity and compliance over elaboration.
