In addition to these qualifications, each firm should submit a fee proposal at the time of interview in a separate envelope. The fee will be considered after construction firms are ranked based on qualifications. There will be a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 28, 2024, at 10:00 am at Metter City Hall, located at 49 South Rountree Street, Metter, GA.

4) Any submitted proposal shall remain valid for 60 days after the proposal due date or until the Owner executes a contract, whichever is sooner. The Owner may, in the event the selected proposer fails to perform and/or the contract is terminated within forty-five days of its initiation, request the proposer submitting the next acceptable proposal to honor its proposal.

The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all proposals received. The Owner is not obligated to request clarifications or additional information but may do so at their discretion. The Owner may extend the due dates if it is at the advantage of the Owner. Proposers will be notified of any/all changes in scheduled due dates/times by written addendum.
