REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES

The City of Douglas is requesting qualifications and proposals for selection of an Architectural Firm to provide pre- and post-award services for various community and economic development projects. Pre- and post-award services will include, but are not limited to, preparing preliminary architectural report, planning, design, cost estimating, bidding, contracting, construction oversight, quality control, and project closeout. As a basic service, all architectural contracts will also include obtaining and maintaining all Build America Buy America (BABA) documentation (particularly manufacturer¿s certifications) during construction, which shall be transferred to the grant recipient. The architect will need to certify to this action at the end of the project. The City is in dire need of adequate facilities and is considering applying for federal and/or state funding for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Competition, Employee Incentive Program (EIP), Redevelopment Fund (RDF), and/or Immediate Threat and Danger (ITAD) funds through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

Selection of an Architect for the project will be based on qualifications as they relate to community and economic development needs. All contracts are subject to Federal and State contract provisions prescribed by the Georgia DCA. Selection could allow your firm to provide pre- and post-award Architectural Services for future community and economic development projects for a limited time period based on the funding of the grant.

The City of Douglas is committed to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. This project is covered under the requirements of Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968. This contract opportunity is a Section 3 Covered Contract. Section 3 Business Concerns are encouraged to apply.
