About this file
This is an Addendum #2 Questions and Answers document for a wayfinding signage project issued by the City of Griffin, Georgia. The project involves the fabrication and delivery of 39 directional wayfinding signs to be placed throughout Spalding County and the City of Griffin to direct tourists and visitors to key points of interest. The submission deadline was extended to April 18, 2022. The City of Griffin will only accept bids from contractors located within the United States, as international bidders cannot obtain the necessary local, state, and federal permits and licenses within the project timeline as required by O.C.G.A. 36-91-101. A pricing page for the project was being prepared and would be posted as an addendum to the bid package.
Bonding requirements include a five percent (5%) bid bond in the form of a surety-issued bond or cashier's check, along with a one hundred ten percent (110%) performance bond and one hundred percent (100%) payment bond, both payable to and for the protection of the City of Griffin. Performance and payment bonds must be presented within ten (10) days of the Notice of Intent to Award or prior to contract award, whichever is later. Surety companies must appear on the Treasury Department's current Circular 570 as amended and be authorized to do business in Georgia. Bonds are to remain in effect for one year from project completion, and bond amounts must increase proportionally as the contract amount increases. Failure to submit appropriate bonding will result in automatic bid rejection.
