RFQ26-06 On Call Professional Services

The City of Dunwoody is soliciting proposals under RFQ 26-06 for qualified consulting firms to provide on-call professional engineering and related services for the Public Works Capital Projects and Stormwater Division. This is a master services agreement where selected firms will be awarded work through individual task orders based on a contracted rate schedule. The scope includes professional engineering services, with specific stormwater deliverables such as project narratives, quantity management reports, and technical drainage maps. Proposals must be submitted by October 23, 2026, via a thumb drive in a sealed envelope, containing a technical proposal, rate schedules, and an acknowledgement form. The selection process involves an administrative review followed by a technical evaluation scored out of 100 points, with a heavy emphasis on the qualifications and experience of the Project Manager and Key Team Leaders. While proposal rate schedules are required to establish billing rates, they are not used during the initial technical evaluation. Required qualifications include Georgia professional licensure for design seals, GDOT prequalifications, and specific Georgia Certified General Appraiser credentials for appraisal services. The contract is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia and requires consultants to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, auto, umbrella, and professional liability, all with a minimum of 1,000,000 dollars per occurrence or claim. Additionally, firms must comply with E-Verify and ADA standards. The City retains ownership of all intellectual property produced under the contract and may terminate the agreement for cause with 10 days notice or for convenience with 30 days notice. Hourly rates will be adjusted annually based on the Municipal Cost Index.
