PNA-484-091525 Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) Services for District 7 - I-285

The contract pertains to Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services along the I-285 corridor in District 7 of Georgia, covering Fulton and Cobb Counties. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued a Public Notice of Advertisement to inform the consultant community of an upcoming Request for Qualifications (RFQ), scheduled for release on August 15, 2025, with submissions due by September 15, 2025. The scope includes contract administration, inspection, and materials testing for various construction projects such as new builds, widenings, bridge replacements, and resurfacing efforts, with an estimated contract value ranging from five to fifteen million dollars. The selected firm will need to provide approximately 25 qualified personnel, including key roles like project managers and inspectors, all of whom must be prequalified by GDOT in Area Class 8.01 Construction Engineering and Supervision. The procurement process emphasizes strict communication restrictions, prohibiting any interaction with GDOT staff—including the Commissioner and Board Members—about the solicitation until the RFQ is publicly posted and the award is announced. The full scope, detailed instructions, evaluation criteria, and contractual terms will be provided in the upcoming RFQ. The contract documents currently do not specify particular clauses, regulatory references, or detailed performance, delivery, or pricing information; these will be included in the RFQ. The project performance will primarily occur on-site within the designated corridor, with inspection responsibilities assigned to the contractor and oversight by GDOT. Overall, this opportunity is in the pre-solicitation phase, with all substantive contractual and procedural details to be disclosed in the forthcoming RFQ.
