Phase I scores focus on the qualifications and experience of the Project Manager, key team leaders and members (weighted 30%), additional firm resources and ability to address scope challenges (20%), and prime consultant past performance (10%). Shortlisted finalists move to Phase II, where the technical approach (40%) and potentially a presentation or interview (at GDOT’s discretion) are assessed.

Firms must submit notarized Certification and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Affidavit forms (Prime only), maintain compliance with conflict of interest provisions including former GDOT employees, and adhere to strict page limits and documentation on key personnel. No federal FAR clauses are incorporated; the contract is governed solely by GDOT’s terms and state regulations.
