RFP #26-149 Freight Cluster Plan for Clayton County, GA

The Clayton County Board of Commissioners is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-149 for the development of Freight Cluster Plans for Clayton County, Georgia. The project focuses on a study area extending from Tara Boulevard in the west to Mt. Zion Boulevard in the east, and from State Route 138 in the south to Interstate 75 in the north. Key deliverables include a Project Management Plan, Stakeholder Engagement and Outreach Plan, Inventory and Assessment Report, Traffic Study Report, a fiscally constrained short-term action plan, and a long-term vision project list. The work is supported by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and is contingent upon funding from the Georgia Department of Transportation. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Bidnet by November 19, 2026. The evaluation process is weighted toward understanding the scope of services (25%), organizational qualifications (30%), and project management and personnel (30%), with financial capability (10%) and cost (5%) making up the remainder. Awardees must comply with E-Verify requirements, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and specific bonding and insurance standards. While the county encourages the use of small local businesses, there is no specific SLBE subcontracting goal for this project. Selected proponents will be required to provide comprehensive progress reports to the ARC and may be asked to participate in oral presentations between December 28 and December 31, 2026.
