27028-Q: Sandy Creek Road Multi-Use Path Project

Fayette County, Georgia, is soliciting Statements of Qualification for the Sandy Creek Road Multi-Use Path Project, identified as RFQ 27028-Q. The project involves providing design and engineering services for approximately 1.3 miles of multi-use path extending from the intersection of Sandy Creek Road, Trustin Lake Drive, Sams Drive, and Eastin Road to the intersection of Sandy Creek Road and Veterans Parkway. The primary objective is to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, align the corridor with Complete Streets standards, and support the County's Vision Zero initiative. All work must comply with the current GDOT Plan Development Process and standards, with all final documents requiring GDOT approval. The selection process is a multi-phase evaluation conducted jointly by Fayette County and the City of Fayetteville. Phase I focuses on shortlisting firms based on the experience and qualifications of the project manager and key team leaders, as well as the prime consultant's track record and workload capacity. Finalists then proceed to Phase II, which evaluates their technical approach. The resulting contract will be a multi-phase, project-specific agreement with a value to be determined through negotiations. Submissions must be delivered in a sealed opaque envelope and include a digital copy on a flash drive by the September 30, 2026, deadline. Required documentation includes a notarized Certification Form, a Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Affidavit, and adherence to strict page and formatting limits to avoid disqualification. The selected consultant must maintain general and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 each and comply with federal non-discrimination and anti-lobbying regulations. Payment terms are established as Net 30.
