ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR FIRE STATION

Lumpkin County, Georgia, is soliciting statements of qualifications from Architectural and Engineering firms for the design and construction administration of Fire Station 9. The project involves a 4,800 square foot facility on a 2.02-acre site on Ben Higgins Road. The facility must include three 20 by 60 foot drive-thru apparatus bays, a day room and office area, and an upstairs living area. The selected firm will be responsible for four phases of work: conceptual design and site analysis, design development and construction documents, construction administration and resident inspection, and project closeout, which includes an 11-month warranty inspection and as-constructed drawings. The design must prioritize cost-efficiency and maintain compatibility with the existing Fire Station 7. The Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners will select the most qualified firm based on a best value evaluation. Scoring is weighted by previous experience at 30 percent, scope and level of services at 25 percent, capacity to manage complex projects at 25 percent, and methodology and approach at 20 percent. Interested firms must submit an original proposal and two copies in a sealed envelope by 12:00 p.m. on September 30, 2026. Required documentation includes a vendor packet, W-9, E-Verify affidavit, proof of Georgia business licensure, and a certificate of insurance. Proposals must include firm history, resumes of key personnel, an organizational chart, and evidence of financial stability.
