Proposers must include three mandatory exhibits: Certification Form (Exhibit A), Contractor Affidavit under O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91(b)(1) (Exhibit B), and Disclosure Statement (Exhibit C), with failure to submit any resulting in disqualification.

Firms must hold a valid Georgia General Contractor’s License, be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State, maintain an Experience Modification Rating of 1.2 or less, and demonstrate a current ratio of assets to liabilities of 1.0 or higher.

Best with a Class V or larger financial size category. The selection process involves two evaluation stages: an initial pass/fail gate based on minimum qualifications, followed by a weighted scoring of Experience and Qualifications (45%), Suitability (30%), and Stability (25%). Finalists will undergo a second evaluation where Qualifications and Experience are scored out of 50 points and Fee Proposal is scored out of 100 points using a proportionate pricing formula, with the highest combined total determining the award. Contract execution will be on the standard GSFIC Construction Management Agreement without modification, and the selected firm must use the e-Builder platform for all contract administration, including RFIs, change orders, payment applications, and notices of
