2024-RFB-010 Concrete Construction and Repair Services (Annual Contract)

The City of Forest Park, Georgia has issued Invitation for Bid (2024-RFB-010) for an annual Concrete Construction and Repair Services contract, soliciting sealed unit price bids from qualified contractors. The procurement covers comprehensive concrete infrastructure services, including repair, removal, and replacement of sidewalks, driveways, gutters, and curb access ramps. Key deliverables involve project layout ensuring Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, traffic control management, concrete forming and installation, and post-construction restoration of adjacent roadway and roadside areas. A non-mandatory virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 14, 2025 at 11:00 am via Microsoft Teams, with prospective bidders' questions due by 5:00 am on January 21, 2025. The initial contract term is 12 months, with options for two additional 12-month renewals, and contractors must commence work within 10 days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. Bid requirements include 5% bid security and 100% performance and payment bonds, with unit pricing requested across 21 line items measuring concrete work in various metrics including square yards, linear feet, and per-unit quantities.

The procurement includes a 25% participation goal for the City's Local, Small Business, Diversity (LSBD) Program, indicating a commitment to supporting smaller and diverse contractors. The contract establishes a construction contingency allowance of 5% within the base bid amount, with individual project orders limited to $1,000,000 without prior approval. Liquidated damages ranging from $250-$500 per day may be assessed for project delays, and contractors are responsible for obtaining necessary permits, with the City covering its own permit fees while contractors handle county-level permitting expenses. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the contract structure suggests flexibility for multiple contractors to provide services. The procurement does not explicitly restrict participation beyond the LSBD program goals, though standard qualifications around contractor capability, licensing, and insurance are implied. Though a precise budget range is not provided, the $1,000,000 per-project limit and annual contract structure suggest significant potential contract value for successful bidders.
