RFQ-484-071426 Regionalized Statewide Operational Improvements, Contracts 1 & 2

The Georgia Department of Transportation is soliciting consultant services under RFQ-484-071426 for Regionalized Statewide Operational Improvements, aiming to establish two On-Call Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a total estimated value ranging from $25,000 to $12,000,000. The procurement is governed under Georgia state law, authorizing ancillary services for public road construction and maintenance, and targets enhancements to traffic operations across the state route system through innovative treatments such as Displaced Left Turn Lanes, Diverging Diamond Interchanges, Restricted Crossing U-Turns, and Median U-Turns. The scope encompasses a comprehensive suite of engineering tasks including traffic engineering studies, macro and micro simulation modeling, traffic counts, concept and final design development, right-of-way planning, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, geotechnical services, environmental documentation, pavement design, subsurface utility engineering, erosion control, and UST assessments. All deliverables must adhere to GDOT-approved software platforms—MicroStation, CAiCE, and/or InRoads—and comply with the latest EDG and PPG standards. The contracts are expected to remain active for up to five years, with payment methods potentially including lump sum, cost plus fixed fee, cost per unit of work, or specific rate of compensation. Firms must demonstrate valid prequalification across all applicable Area Classes and submit responses electronically as PDFs via the Georgia Solicitation Portal, following strict naming conventions and submission protocols. Proposals are evaluated in two phases: Phase I assesses the firm’s experience, key personnel qualifications, additional resources, and past performance, accounting for 60% of the total score, while Phase II evaluates the technical approach, methodology, and delivery strategy for 40%. Respondents are required to provide complete company information, Georgia office locations, staffing details, and ownership structure, and must comply with mandatory certifications including the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Affidavit, failure of which results in automatic disqualification. Accounting systems must meet 48 CFR Part 31 standards, and firms with contracts exceeding $250,000 must submit annual CPA overhead audits. All submissions are subject to the Georgia Open Records Act, meaning confidentiality claims do not prevent public disclosure. Responses are due by July 14, 2026, and only firms shortlisted in Phase I will be invited to submit detailed technical approaches. GDOT may
