22-003 Notice of Cancellation

This is a Notice of Cancellation issued by the City of Griffin, Georgia for Solicitation 22-003, the Griffin/Spalding Wayfinding Signage Project. The project scope originally consisted of the installation of 39 directional signs throughout Spalding County and the City of Griffin to direct tourists and visitors to key points of interest in the community. The City cancelled the solicitation due to modifications in sign dimensions that required final approval from the Georgia Department of Transportation. The cancellation notice, posted on October 12, 2021, indicated that the bid would be reopened once new specifications received departmental confirmation, with all bidders to be notified and encouraged to submit revised bid packets.

There is a discrepancy in the available documentation, as the related contract opportunity summary references a Douglas County, Georgia FY2022 Mowing and Litter Removal project under the same solicitation number (22-003) with a bid opening scheduled for April 1, 2022, extended to April 18, 2022. This appears to be a separate, unrelated solicitation. The mowing and litter removal project required bidders to submit a five percent bid bond, furnish 100% performance and labor/material payment bonds upon award, maintain specified insurance, provide three references, demonstrate three years of commercial mowing experience, and be capable of bonding 100% of the bid amount through a surety company with an AM Best rating of A-6 or greater. Liquidated damages of $500 per day applied for failure to meet cycle completion deadlines.
