The contract involves providing Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for two highway projects near McDonough, Georgia: I-75 at CR 312 Bethlehem Road and SR 42 at NS #718418r. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is seeking qualified firms through a formal RFQ process scheduled to begin with issuance on December 1, 2025, and a submission deadline for qualifications set for January 8, 2026. The scope encompasses contract administration, construction inspection, materials testing, documentation, and ensuring compliance with GDOT standards. The anticipated contract size ranges from $500,000 to $2 million, with the work performed at designated project locations in Georgia. Firms must be prequalified by GDOT in specific area classes, notably in Construction Engineering and Supervision, Field Testing of Materials, Rainfall and Runoff Reporting, and Erosion Control Inspection, with key personnel roles such as a Construction Lead and Senior Bridge Inspector explicitly required. The procurement process emphasizes strict communication restrictions—firms are prohibited from discussing the solicitation with GDOT staff until the award is announced, to ensure fairness. The public notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria, contract clauses, or the full terms of the award methodology; these details are expected to be included in the forthcoming RFQ documentation. Administrative contacts are provided for inquiries, and the process reserves GDOT's right to modify schedules or requirements at its discretion. No attachments, supporting documents, or specific pricing schedules are included in the current documentation, as the notice primarily serves to announce the upcoming RFQ and outline prequalification and procedural requirements. Overall, the contract aims to secure experienced CEI consultants capable of managing construction oversight for these critical highway projects in accordance with GDOT standards.
