Summary of 2023-003 Plans

This file contains bid plans and specifications for multiple infrastructure projects across Georgia jurisdictions. The primary project involves Spalding County's paving, resurfacing, and striping work on eight roadways totaling approximately 6.73 miles under the TSPLOST Resurfacing Phase IA program (RFP 2023-003). The scope includes patching with recycled asphalt concrete, leveling, overlay paving, pavement markings, traffic control, mobilization, and valve box adjustments on Musgrove Road, Dale Drive, Hamilton Boulevard, Dundee Lake Circle, Lakewood Drive, Northside Drive, Camden Road, and North Hill Street. The project requires approximately 5,611 tons of material, with contractors required to apply 165 pounds per square yard of 9.5mm Type I asphalt, and patching areas milled to three inches depth. Sealed bids were due October 11, 2022, from Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT)-prequalified prime contractors only. Work is scheduled Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to dusk, with Saturday work permitted upon authorization. The contractor must commence work within fifteen calendar days of Notice to Proceed (issued no later than November 15, 2022) and complete all work within ninety calendar days. Addendum No. 1, issued September 21, 2022, provided revised bid tabulation and forms, roadway specifications, and detailed patch measurements. The file also references a separate City of Dahlonega project (Hancock Park Dumpster Pad improvements) with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on February 15, 2023, and a City of Jackson water valve replacement project involving ten valves on Third Street.

All work must comply with GDOT Standard Drawings and Standard Specifications, with materials sourced from GDOT-certified suppliers. The contractor must haul millings to Spalding County's property on Justice Boulevard and install temporary striping on all roads. Spalding County Public Works will handle shoulder building, repaint patch markings, adjust water main valve boxes to grade, and manage debris removal. Project funding derives from Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) revenue. Only GDOT-prequalified prime contractors are eligible to bid on the Spalding County project. Questions regarding the Dahlonega project (Project #2023-003) are accepted in writing only to the City of Dahlonega Purchasing Agent, Brittany Lee, with responses posted by addenda no later than February 24, 2023.
