Professional Design Services for Public Safety, Municipal Court and Public Works Buildings

The City of Fayetteville, Georgia, is seeking qualified professional design firms to provide comprehensive architectural and engineering services for the development of new public safety, municipal court, and public works buildings, as well as the renovation of an existing public works facility. The project encompasses the construction of a roughly 10,000-square-foot municipal court, a 20,000-square-foot public safety building, and associated renovations, with an estimated construction budget of approximately 20 million dollars. The design process is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with the goal of producing 75% construction documents by the first quarter of 2026, employing a Construction Manager At-Risk delivery method. The selected design firm will be responsible for all phases of design, including programming, construction documentation, interior and landscape design, security systems, audiovisual components, and construction administration services, with an emphasis on sustainable design principles and potential collaboration with a commissioning agent. The RFQ process emphasizes a thorough evaluation based on multiple criteria, including the firm's stability, relevant experience, previous performance, and the qualifications of the proposed project team, with weightings of up to 30% for team qualifications and 25% for past performance. The selection will also consider the firm's approach to project management and design quality. The final award will be determined through a combination of submitted qualifications and interview performance, with negotiations conducted with the highest-ranked firm. The contract will be based on an Owner-modified AIA B133 agreement, and the firm must demonstrate compliance with state requirements such as registration with the federal E-Verify program. Submissions are due by July 9, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., and must include one original, one copy, and one electronic PDF, all sealed and clearly marked. The City reserves the right to reject any submissions that do not meet the criteria or are received past the deadline, and the entire process is conducted with confidentiality during evaluation.
