2025 LMIG Paving

The state and local contract opportunity is for the 2025 Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant (LMIG) Paving Project in Pierce County, Georgia, specifically for the City of Hawkinsville. The procurement involves the comprehensive resurfacing of two roadway segments: N. Lumpkin Street (460 linear feet x 32 feet wide) from First Street to Second Street intersection, and Industrial Boulevard (1,100 linear feet x 20 feet wide) from Sixth Street to the Town Creek bridge deck. The project scope includes leveling, milling, resurfacing with 9.5mm Superpave asphalt, striping, and shoulder work. Contractors must be pre-qualified by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and listed on their approved contractors list. Sealed bids are due by 3:00 PM on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at Hawkinsville City Hall, with bid documents available electronically via email from sara@hawkinsvillega.net. The contract period is 120 days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages set at $110 per calendar day beyond the completion date.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors are required to provide a 10% bid bond and 100% performance and payment bonds, along with comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence. Retainage is established at 10% of approved partial pay estimates. The city reserves the right to reject any and all bids and will award the contract conditional upon funding availability. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the project's scope suggests a substantial infrastructure investment for road resurfacing. Potential bidders should note the technical requirements, including GDOT pre-qualification, and be prepared to meet the comprehensive insurance and bonding requirements. The procurement process allows for both hard copy and electronic bid submissions, providing flexibility for interested contractors.
