2023 LMIG Program

The City of Stockbridge, Georgia is requesting sealed unit price bids for road repair and resurfacing under ITB 2022-0013, with bids due June 23, 2022 at 3:00 PM EDT. All bidders must hold a current Georgia Department of Transportation Prequalification Certificate — the mandatory eligibility filter. The project is funded through Georgia Department of Transportation Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant (LMIG) funds, which carries Title VI nondiscrimination compliance requirements.

The scope encompasses repair and resurfacing of approximately 4.6 miles of local roadways, including edge milling, asphaltic concrete patching and placement, bituminous tack coat application, utility adjustments (manhole frames, valve boxes, catch basins), and thermoplastic pavement markings across 18 line items. Substantial completion is required within 75 calendar days and final completion within 90 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Work hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with additional hours requiring written approval. Asphalt testing is performed at contractor expense on an as-needed basis, and mandatory progress documentation via video and photographs is required.

The contract includes a $50,000 contingency allowance for owner-directed changes. Bids must be secured with 5 percent bid security (certified check, money order, or bid bond). The successful bidder must furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount. Liquidated damages are $250 per day after substantial completion and $500 per day after final completion. Progress payments are 90 percent with retainage; interest on late payments accrues at 1.0 percent per annum.
