Road Asset Management

The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners (herein after referred to as the “County”) is accepting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from GDOT Prequalified Consultants to provide Professional Services for Road Asset Management as further described and stated in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

The selected Prime Consulting Firm shall employ a minimum of 50% of the personnel providing the professional services during the term of this agreement with Bulloch County and must also appear on the GDOT Prequalification List for providing services in the listed area classes, no later than the deadline for receipt of all submissions.

Bulloch County is requesting Statements of Qualification from GDOT-prequalified consulting firms to provide Road Asset Management Services in order to develop and implement a comprehensive Road Asset Management Program for County-maintained roadways and associated transportation assets.

The successful firm will develop the program around the following metrics

• Maximizing Asset Lifecycle: Evaluate and produce strategies for Bulloch County to extend the useful life of pavements and signage through timely preventive maintenance (e.g., crack sealing, chip seals) before severe degradation occurs. Deliverable: Road / Asset Inventory, preservation treatment eligibility.
• Cost Efficiency & Budget Optimization: Evaluate and produce strategies for Bulloch County to reduce long-term capital expenditure by prioritizing high-ROI interventions rather than waiting for roads to fail completely, which can cost 4 to 5 times more to reconstruct. Deliverable: Tiered approach to develop CIPs in locations where there are safety, pavement condition, or capacity issues.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Leveraging spatial collection, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scoring, and deterioration modeling to objectively prioritize projects based on actual condition rather than subjective feedback (the existing system). Deliverable: Pavement Condition Index
• Risk Management & Safety: Identify structural hazards, substandard roadside assets, or drainage failures early to minimize safety risks, legal liability, and traffic disruptions. Deliverable: Spatial collection and hazard identification
• Transparency & Stakeholder Accountability: Providing clear data, condition maps, and multi-year Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) to justify funding requests to elected officials and the public. Deliverable: CIP plan with an outlook to FY 35.
