1. Can the City please conﬁrm whether the cover, cover letter, table of content,

tabs, resumes, and required forms are considered part of the 20-page limit?

a. These items are not considered a part of the 20-page limit except for the

resumes. For all relevant resumes, please provide a summary, not a full 3-4

page resume.

2. If a ﬁrm uses subconsultants, should the main ﬁrm provide subconsultant

references, similar projects, and sign any forms?

a. Yes, the main ﬁrm should provide subconsultant references, and similar

projects. Any forms requiring signatures will be addressed at time of

contract.

3. Are you aware of any UDOs adopted in other jurisdictions that successfully address

some of the issues and objectives that the City has identiﬁed for this project?

a. While each UDO should be tailored to the character, history, and desires of a

community, the City does see a signiﬁcant number of elements in other

communities’ UDOs that it feels would be relevant for potential inclusion in

the City’s ﬁnal plan. This includes Roswell, Milton, Powder Springs, and

Richmond Hill. Additionally, development/zoning elements of Hilton Head

Island, SC and Madison, GA are also of interest. However, the City wants to

ensure that the selected consultant understands that this is not a cookie-

cutter project and that the ﬁnal product should be built for and speciﬁc to

Dublin.

4. Are you aware of any pre-approved design plans for housing and other development

types adopted in other jurisdictions that have resulted in successively built

projects?

a. The City is aware of at least one other Georgia community that was recently

implemented approved design plans (Thomaston) but this has been a

relatively recent implementation and the impact is unknown.

5. Are signed and sealed construction plans required as part of the “pre-approved

design plans”?

a. If an applicant is going to include signed and sealed construction plans as a

part of their work, it should be as an optional additional service and the cost

for the additional service should be clearly identiﬁed. They are not required.

6. Has the City considered seeking funding for historic preservation guidelines/design

standards as a separate project from the Unified Development Ordinance?

a. No. The City prefers to include the historic preservation guidelines/design

standards updates within the UDO and as part of this project.

7. Please elaborate on the level of detail desired for the proposed Task: “Investigate

and document current actual uses of property in the city and immediately

surrounding unincorporated area” (RFQ page 5, 3rd bullet under Tasks)? How does

this relate to or is di erent than the GIS-based Existing Land Use contained in the

2024 Vision 2050 and the 2018 Urban Redevelopment Plan documents?

a. The comp plan land use map primarily mirrors the zoning map and does not

truly reﬂect land use. We have found that there are multiple cases where

that does not align with the actual use of the property. (For example, having a

residential land use shown as industrial on both the zoning and land use

maps.) Additionally, the City’s Future Land Use Map does not include any

unincorporated areas and there is a desire to have this information so that

the City can separately develop guidelines with respect to land use and

zoning for potential future annexations. However, this is not expected to be

an itemized parcel review. It is expected that the consultants will drive

through and personally review the vast majority of the City to get a feel for the

neighborhoods and general existing development. The City believes valuable

information can be obtained by an on-site review and does not want

consultants relying on online imaging or maps.

8. Does the city have, and will we have access to, readily available digital data for

development, permitting, and occupational licensing information to assist in data

collection?

a. Permitting and licensing is handled through Tyler Software with the ability to

provide exported data for the last approximately ﬁve years. Additional data

may be available in excel format.

9. Will the City consider additional funding opportunities for this project related to

implementation for economic and community development initiatives such as

historic preservation, crime prevention through environmental design,

sustainability, or other initiatives aligned with the goals of the scope for the Uniﬁed

Development Ordinance?

a. Any additional implementation funding needs will be addressed during the

project. At this time, no funding is assigned or considered beyond the initial

funding for the project, which is expected to include implementation as

described in the RFQ. The City welcomes assistance with identifying

potential funding sources for the items mentioned.

10. Can you provide the anticipated time and location for interviews on August 21, 2026?

a. Anticipated to be the ﬁrst half of the work day and they will be conducted at

City Hall at 100 S. Church St.

11. Does the City require work sessions open to and with the general public, or will all

work sessions be with pre-selected stakeholders?

a. This project requires a variety of work sessions with di erent stakeholder

groups. There will be a steering committee comprised of sta and select

members of the Council, Planning & Zoning, Zoning Board of Appeals, and

the Historic Review Board, which will be the primary feedback and direction-

giving group for this project, and those meetings will not be open to the

public. It is also expected that closed work sessions will be held with

selected stakeholder groups, such as our local developers. It is also

expected that there are general open public review/comment sessions that

are advertised and open for anyone in the public to attend and provide

feedback. And the consultant will be expected to provide periodic updates

to and received feedback from the full council at open meetings. The City is

not going to specify how many meetings of each type there needs to be but

ﬁrms who are identiﬁed as ﬁnalists will be required to provide an additional

response, which will include the number, type, and general scheduling of

these various meetings.

12. Does the 20-page limit include resumes and project pages

a. yes, resumes and project pages are expected to be summaries and the City

prefers those to be brief and to the point.

This is the opportunity summary page. It provides an overview of this opportunity and a preview of the attached documentation.
