Cedartown commission reviews RFQ/RFPs for engineering, grant-writing and architectural services
Summary
At a July 6 work session, the Cedartown City Commission reviewed three procurement requests—engineering (8 proposals), grant writing (11) and architectural (6)—each structured to allow use of selected firms for up to 36 months and noted the process supports federal grant compliance.
The Cedartown City Commission on July 6 reviewed three requests for qualifications/request for proposals (RFQ/RFPs) that would let the city contract with outside firms for engineering, grant-writing and architectural services for up to 36 months.
Commissioners were told that eight firms submitted proposals for engineering services, eleven firms submitted for grant-writing services and six firms submitted for architectural services. The packet states the multi‑firm contracting approach is intended to allow the city to select firms on an as-needed basis for projects over a period of up to 36 months and that the RFQ/RFP process is required when pursuing certain federal grants.
The discussion in the work session focused on the procurement structure and the need to ensure the city remains eligible for federal funding streams by following the RFQ/RFP requirements. The transcript does not record any formal vote, award, or selection of firms during the public session; no dollar amounts, project-specific scopes, or firm names were disclosed in the recorded discussion.
City staff listed as present included City Manager Edward Guzman, City Clerk Mitzi Allen and Finance Director Amy Orebaugh. The transcript summarizes the discussion but does not attribute individual remarks or describe follow-up deadlines. The commission did not take formal action on the RFQ/RFP items during the open session.
