Summary & Background Recognizing the need for the expansion of delivery of Health and Human Services programming, Fulton County has been developing a comprehensive plan for the modern County-owned Health and Human Services (HHS) facilities in three specific areas and locations in the County: North Alpharetta, South Atlanta, and the City of South Fulton.
The current operations of this group are spread throughout South Fulton County, with the principal locations being; the South Annex across the street at 5600 Stonewall Tell Rd (64,484 sq. ft.) Behavioral Health and Disabilities Center (13,625 sq. ft.) - 2605 Fairburn Road, and H. J. C. Bowden Senior Multi-Purpose Facility (25,000) at 2885 Church Street, East Point. The facilities are spread out and as such do not present a consolidated location for services.
The purpose of this project is to assess the overall needs of County’s HHS services and evaluate the feasibility of a new modern facility, to create new spaces with a healthy and welcoming atmosphere that meet the future needs and support animal care services in South Fulton.
The following are overall objectives and goals:
• Assess future and long-term service levels, program requirements and space needs.
• Conduct innovative space programming and design for the new facility and maximize the space flexibility and efficiency.
• Determine if the intended location is the best location for the new facility based on service requirements.
• Project overall cost and identify possible financing options
• Ensure the County is informed of the best possible options.
• Provide comparative analyses of benchmark counties/jurisdictions.
• Design and program modeling.
Scope of Work: The planning and design of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) facilities to provide a feasibility study for the County’s planned new HHS South services facility. The primary objective for this project is to assess the overall needs of the County’s HHS services, evaluate the feasibility of a new modern facility to consolidate HHS services in South Fulton County to meet the future and long-term needs of Fulton County in its efforts to support Health & Human services.
The Feasibility Study shall consist of three phases, but not limited to:
Ø Phase 1: Feasibility Study
Ø Phase 2: Site Evaluation and Review
Ø Phase 3: Conceptual Design
Community Impact: The new Health and Human Services facility will meet the future and long-term needs for the citizens of South Fulton and surrounding areas that can access these critical services.

After reviewing, and evaluating, the four (4) qualified firms’ proposals, and consideration of all available information related to the requirements and evaluation criteria of the RFP #25RFP14005K-CRB the Evaluation Committee has determined that the following proposal submitted by Sizemore Group, LLC (97.25%) is the recommended Architectural Firm to provide planning, engineering and design services for the Health and Human Services South Feasibility Study until contract completion as determined by Fulton County.
The recommended Architectural Firm will work in collaboration with the DREAM’s Building Construction team and the County’s Health and Human Services representatives.
Project Implications: This contract’s intent is to assess the overall needs of County’s HHS services and evaluate the feasibility of a new modern facility, to create new spaces with a healthy and welcoming atmosphere that meet the future needs and support animal care services.
Community Issues/Concerns: None that the Department is aware.
Department Issues/Concerns: If this proposal is not approved, the County does not have the capacity, or the expertise, to perform the required feasibility study, planning, and design services for the Health and Human Services South Facility Feasibility Study for Fulton County.
