RFP: Olde Town Conyers LCI Plan Update

The City of Conyers, Georgia, has issued a comprehensive RFP seeking qualified consulting firms to update its Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) Plan for Olde Town Conyers, with proposals due by December 1, 2025. The project aims to reassess existing land use, transportation, and community assets, incorporate recent growth and developments, and develop updated goals, policies, and action strategies to enhance walkability, green infrastructure, economic vitality, and placemaking within the historic downtown area. The scope includes conducting detailed assessments, market analyses, extensive community engagement, and producing final deliverables such as reports, concept plans, and an implementation strategy, all to be delivered in PDF and original electronic formats. The total project budget is $200,000, with funding split between ARC and local sources, and the schedule spans from project kickoff in March 2026 to final submission in October 2027. The contract incorporates various legal and regulatory compliance requirements, notably Georgia state statutes mandating E-Verify registration and affidavits for contractors and subcontractors performing services over $2,499.99, as well as affidavits verifying legal U.S. status and non-collusion. Bidders must submit detailed firm qualifications, resumes of key personnel, past project references, and complete mandatory forms including W-9, affidavits, and acknowledgment of addenda. The evaluation process emphasizes qualifications, experience, project approach, schedule, and cost, with the potential for presentations or interviews for the top-ranked firms. Deliverables are subject to review and acceptance by the City’s Project Management Team, which ensures quality and compliance, although no explicit inspection or physical acceptance procedures are detailed. Proposal submissions must follow strict formatting and content guidelines, with hard copies and electronic files due at the specified address, and questions directed to Scott Gaither via email or phone.
