The City of Statesboro is seeking qualified consulting firms to provide comprehensive transportation design services for the Brannen Street to US Hwy 80 East Transportation Improvements Project. This project involves constructing a new roadway segment linking Brannen Street with US Hwy 80 East, including modifications to the Bernard Lane intersection, installation of curb and gutter, sidewalks, stormwater management, and coordination with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for permitting and compliance. The scope encompasses all phases of engineering design from conceptual (30% design) to final detailed plans (up to 100%), hydrology studies, traffic control plans following MUTCD standards, utility and right-of-way conflict analysis, and requisite documentation per GDOT standards. The project area is geographically bounded by Brannen Street, US Hwy 80 East, Veterans Memorial Parkway, and Cawana Road, and all designs must adhere to applicable AASHTO, GDOT, OSHA, and Georgia safety regulations. Deliverables include surveys, design plans, cost estimates, permitting documentation, and recorded right-of-way plats and deeds. Proposals will be evaluated on a best-value trade-off basis with emphasis on project approach (40%), relevant firm experience (25%), key personnel qualifications (25%), and past performance (10%), followed by cost considerations which are submitted separately. The solicitation requires firms to submit detailed Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) including corporate and key staff information, project experience, and compliance affidavits, alongside a sealed cost proposal. Submission must follow strict formatting and content guidelines, including limits on page count and required documentation for Minority- and Female-Owned Business Enterprise (MFBE) participation goals set at 20%. The contract mandates new, unused materials following current production standards, and delivery is FOB destination with the City inspecting and accepting work upon arrival. Special provisions require insurance coverage, indemnification, compliance with labor and non-discrimination laws, and detailed disclosures regarding conflicts of interest and legal matters. Coordination and adherence to City-specified contract terms, including designated contacts and project schedules, are essential.
