RFQ 484-072026 Traffic Projections/Forecasting Studies

The Georgia Department of Transportation is soliciting qualified firms under two separate IDIQ contracts for traffic projections and forecasting studies, covering all seven districts of the state—with Contract 1 encompassing Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5, and Contract 2 covering Districts 3, 6, and 7. The overall contract structure is indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, with a maximum value of $10,000,000 per contract and a minimum obligation of $25,000, and a maximum performance period of five years. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Georgia Procurement Registry portal by July 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM Atlanta time, following strict format requirements including single PDF submissions per contract, 11-point minimum font, portrait orientation, and prohibition of hyperlinks, videos, or promotional content. Evaluation is performance-based and non-price driven, weighting experience and qualifications of the project manager and key team members at 30%, followed by availability of resources and ability to manage challenges at 20%, with overall award determined through a trade-off process emphasizing technical merit and value over lowest cost. All key personnel must submit no more than one page each detailing their relevant experience with Georgia DOT standards, professional credentials, leadership history, and specific roles on comparable projects; failure to comply results in disqualification. Current Georgia DOT employees cannot be included on any proposal team, and all proposed team members must have written consent from their employers. Firms must also submit a notarized Certification Form and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Affidavit, with non-submission leading to automatic disqualification. Deliverables will be issued through task orders under contract types such as lump sum or cost-plus-fixed-fee, with work governed by GDOT’s Plan Development Process, Design Policy Manual, and Environmental Procedures Manual. Invoicing and performance are subject to evaluation on timeliness, accuracy, budget adherence, and minimal revisions, rated on a 1 to 5 scale, with final acceptance resting with GDOT and no fixed physical inspection location specified. Subconsultants are permitted but must be formally incorporated into the agreement and comply with federal audit requirements if contract value exceeds $250,000, while all submissions become the property of the state and must comply with Georgia Open Records Act standards.
