27-004 Arch Svcs Sonny Carter

The Bibb County Board of Education is soliciting proposals for full architectural services to renovate Sonny Carter Elementary School in Macon, Georgia. The project focuses on creating a high-performance building with a sustainable design. The comprehensive scope of work includes programming, design, cost estimating, preparation of construction documents, bidding, bid evaluation, and construction administration. The selected firm will be responsible for periodic engineering inspections and final project acceptance, though soils tests and special inspections are excluded from the professional services. Proposals must be submitted via the EUNA procurement portal by October 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for October 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST. Evaluation will be based on the design team's experience with similar school renovations, the proposed design approach and methodology, and the inclusion of detailed project timelines. Compensation will be negotiated with the successful proposer, likely based on a percentage of the work cost. Key project milestones include a design completion deadline of January 29, 2027, with construction starting by May 21, 2027, and final completion required by July 21, 2027.
