• Workers' Compensation Insurance

• Commercial General Liability Insurance

Local Preference Policy For purchases, bids, proposals, or contracts under $100,000, the local vendor may be allowed to match the lowest-priced bid if the local vendor's bid is within 5% of the lowest-priced bid from a non-local vendor. The local vendor shall be awarded the contract if their bid matches the lowest price and meets all other terms, including quality, service, and conditions. If price bids from more than one local vendor are within 5% of the lowest overall bid from a non-local vendor, the local vendor with the lowest bid will be given the first opportunity to match it. If this local vendor declines to match, the next local vendor whose bid is within 5% of the lowest bid will be allowed to match it. This process will continue for all local vendors within 5% of the lowest overall bid.

Local Vendor means a bidder that operates and maintains a brick-and-mortar business, i.e., a physical business address within the limits of the State of Georgia, and has a current business license, has paid in full all real and personal taxes owed to the county and state, as applicable, is considered a vendor in good standing, and can obtain an active vendor status.

If bids are delivered by any means other than hand delivery, the bidder is recommended to verify delivery. Any bid received after the specified time and date will not be considered and may be returned unopened to the bidder.

PURPOSE SPECIFICATION(S) / SCOPE OF WORK

GENERAL PURPOSE

Spalding County is seeking sealed bids from qualified contractors for the demolition of the former Dundee Mill Headquarters, located at 349 Railroad Avenue, Griffin, GA 30223 (Tax Parcel 109 01015), at the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Cheatham Street. This work is being undertaken pursuant to a Magistrate Court order (Civil Action No. 25-S-2412) declaring the property a public nuisance under O.C.G.A. §§ 41-2-7 through 41-2-16 and Spalding County Code of Ordinances § 8-2002, and authorizing the County to enter the property and abate the nuisance. This project is funded through Spalding County general funds. Costs of demolition and abatement are recoverable by the County as a lien against the property under O.C.G.A. § 41-2-16 and Spalding County Code § 8- 2002(g)-(h).

A mandatory information conference/pre-bid meeting is required for this invitation.

INTRODUCTION

The building formerly served as the world headquarters for the Dundee Textile Mills. It is a two-story structure, with the first story built below grade (functioning similarly to a basement). An asbestos survey conducted by Nova Engineering & Environmental, LLC and analyzed by Eurofins Built Environment Testing East, LLC (RES Job #758061, report dated June 18, 2026) identified confirmed asbestos-containing material (ACM) in the black mastic layer beneath 12″x12″ floor tile (2 of 35 samples, 3% Chrysotile). All other tested building materials — including joint compound, drywall, ceiling tile, roofing materials, caulking, glazing, grout/mortar, and insulation

— returned no detectable asbestos. A copy of the full asbestos report is included in the bid packet.

The project includes:

• Complete demolition of the two-story former Dundee Mill Headquarters building, including the below-grade first story

• Abatement and proper disposal of the confirmed ACM (floor tile mastic) and any additional materials encountered during demolition that require special handling

• Site security during demolition

• Two priced Add/Alternates addressing the below-grade first story after demolition (see Scope of Work)

BID FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

Each response to this Invitation to Bid shall include the information described. Failure to include all specified elements may result in rejection. Additional information may be provided, but should be brief and relevant to the goals of this invitation.

FIRM'S QUALIFICATIONS

A statement of the firm's professional qualifications and experience completing structural demolition and asbestos abatement projects of similar size and scope. The bidder (or listed subcontractor performing abatement) must be a Georgia Licensed Asbestos Abatement Firm; include a copy of its current Georgia Asbestos Contractor License, and a list of jurisdictions or clients for which your firm has performed similar demolition/abatement work.

Provide at least five (5) references for similar demolition or abatement work, including the date, contact person, phone number, and a brief description of the services provided.

APPROACH AND AVAILABILITY

Because this project is being performed under court order to abate a declared public nuisance, timeliness is a material factor in award. The winning bidder must be able to commence within 30 days of contract award (or sooner, if stated in the bid). The bidder should state a specific number of calendar days to substantial completion and demonstrate that it can adequately handle the workload.

SCOPE OF WORK

• Complete demolition of the former Dundee Mill Headquarters building, including the below-grade (basement-level) first story.

• Abatement of all confirmed asbestos-containing material identified in the asbestos report (floor tile mastic, 3% Chrysotile) in accordance with GA EPD and EPA NESHAP requirements, and abatement/special handling of any additional regulated materials discovered during demolition.

• Site security: the site is currently enclosed by a fence. The contractor shall maintain site security throughout the project. Access to the site shall be limited during normal business hours, and the site must be fully secured during non-work hours and whenever demolition operations are not actively underway.

• Work schedule: work may generally be performed seven (7) days a week during daylight hours. The contractor shall take reasonable measures to minimize noise, truck traffic, and other disturbances to neighboring residents.

• Truck routing: all demolition-related truck traffic shall cross the railroad tracks at School Street and proceed directly to US 19/41. No alternate routing through adjacent residential streets is permitted.

• Disposal and documentation: the bidder shall obtain and supply to the County any registration or permits required by the landfill, recycling facility, or disposal site of its choosing. The contractor shall provide documentation confirming that all demolition debris and abated materials were transported to and accepted by appropriately licensed landfill, recycling, or disposal facilities. Properly documented recycling of demolition debris is permitted and encouraged.

• Cost documentation: because project costs are recoverable by the County as a lien against the property, the contractor shall provide itemized invoicing in a format sufficient to support the County's cost determination and lien filing under O.C.G.A. § 41-2-16 and Spalding County Code § 8-2002.

• No disposal or washing/cleaning of equipment will be allowed on site.

• Completion date/schedule may be a factor in bid award, given the court-ordered nature of this project.

• Contractor is responsible for obtaining all utility locates and any demolition or asbestos abatement permits required by the City of Griffin and/or Spalding County.

ADD/ALTERNATES

Because the below-grade first story will remain as an open excavation/void after demolition of the structure above it, bidders shall separately price the following two Add/Alternates. The County will select one alternate, both, or neither at its sole discretion at the time of award:

• Add/Alternate No. 1 — Grading: Grade the site after demolition to eliminate the below-grade void and remove the potential hazard of an open hole.

• Add/Alternate No. 2 — Secure Fencing: Install a secure fence with posted warning signage around the remaining below-grade excavation instead of grading.

DISPUTES RELATING TO BID PROCESS

Any dispute arising from the bid process before contract award must be submitted in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the recommendation of award or denial letter. The only grounds for an appeal that will be considered are that the County failed to follow the procedures specified in this ITB, or that there has been a conflict-of-interest violation. The County will consider only those specific issues addressed in the written appeal. Spalding County will make its determination within thirty (30) days of receipt, and its decision shall be final with respect to matters of fact.
