After reviewing proposals from 17 qualified firms, and evaluating and consideration of all available information related to the requirements and evaluation criteria, the Evaluation Committee has determined that the following proposals submitted by Sizemore Group (91.35%), KHAFRA Engineering (88.83%), Heery + Russell, a joint venture (87.44%), and WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (87.36%), are the four (4) recommended professional firms to provide Standby Professional Services for Architectural and Engineering for Fulton County for FY2024.
Because of the volume of work anticipated from the Urban Redevelopment Bond Program and other various Capital Projects, these professional firms will provide some, all, or any combination of the various and diverse technical expertise they possess to the capital improvement projects.
Project Implications: The intent of these professional services contracts is for one or more firms to provide some, all, or any combination of the various and diverse engineering studies; consultative, advisory, investigative and pre-design services; pre-design and pre -construction activities; partnering; project management services; detailed design services; contract administration and general review during construction; construction management services for the County on an as needed task order basis.
