Request for Qualifications/Proposal of Design Services STM 40: Chandler Rd. at Olympic Blvd Drainage

The City of Statesboro is seeking qualified civil engineering and land surveying firms to provide professional services for a drainage improvement project at the intersection of Chandler Road and Olympic Boulevard in Statesboro, Georgia. The project aims to address recurring stormwater flooding that impacts the Georgia Villas community by evaluating the limitations of the existing drainage conveyance system and delivering a constructable solution through a two-phase design process. Phase 1 involves topographic and parcel surveying, concept plan development, identification of utility and right-of-way conflicts, preliminary cost estimates, and hydrological modeling, while Phase 2 entails detailed hydraulic and hydrologic analysis, progressive design development to 30%, 60%, 90%, and final stages, staking of rights-of-way and easements, and the preparation of complete construction plans compliant with the Georgia Department of Transportation Plan Presentation Guide. Deliverables must include electronic CAD files in AutoCAD Civil 3D or MicroStation format, along with signed and sealed construction plans incorporating grading, drainage, utility, signing, erosion control, and right-of-way details. The solicitation requires proposers to submit a Statement of Qualifications with strict page limits for each component and a separately sealed cost proposal for both phases, with technical proposals evaluated first on a 100-point scale prioritizing project approach (40%), experience with similar projects (25%), and key staff qualifications (25%). Evaluation is conducted under a best-value trade-off methodology, where cost is considered only after technical rankings are established. Mandatory compliance includes E-Verify certification under Georgia law, submission of a notarized affidavit, minimum insurance coverage for workers’ compensation, general liability, motor vehicle liability, and professional malpractice, and disclosure of any pending litigation, criminal violations, or conflicts of interest. Key personnel must include a Principal-In-Charge, Survey Lead, and Design Lead with demonstrated experience on comparable projects. All work is to be performed in Statesboro, Georgia, and delivered to the City’s Engineering Department with final plans adhering strictly to AASHTO, MUTCD, and GDOT standards. Proposals are due by August 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM, and award is contingent upon City Council approval; no contract will be binding until formally approved.
