Greenway Feasibility Study

The City of South Fulton, Georgia, has issued Request for Qualifications RFQ 26-33 for a Greenway Feasibility Study. The objective of this planning document is to determine if a proposed trail and its related improvements can be realistically designed, funded, permitted, constructed, operated, and maintained. The study is intended to provide decision-makers with a comprehensive understanding of costs, benefits, risks, and alternatives before moving into the design phase. The contract term is 15 months from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, and the procurement follows federal Qualifications-based selection requirements under 23 CFR Part 172. The selection process is based on a combined score where the written Statement of Qualifications accounts for 60 percent and a mandatory interview for shortlisted firms accounts for 40 percent. Cost is not considered during the initial ranking and will only be negotiated with the highest-ranked consultant. Qualified firms must submit their electronic responses by October 29, 2026, and must provide a valid Georgia business license and certificate of authority. The contract includes strict compliance requirements, including Buy America preferences, non-discrimination mandates, and certifications regarding the Iran Divestment List and boycotts of Israel. Payment for services is processed within 30 calendar days of receipt of itemized invoices and supporting documentation.
