2026 City of LaFayette Paving Project

The City of LaFayette, Georgia is soliciting sealed bids for its 2026 Street Paving Project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative encompassing patching, asphalt overlay, leveling, and striping work across seven city roads: Pledger Street, Hillsdale Road, Johnson Street, Trail Lake Road, Anthony Street, South Duke Street, and Foster Boulevard. The project scope includes variable depth milling from 0 to 3 inches based on existing conditions, application of 19mm binder base and 9.5mm Superpave asphalt overlay (consisting of a 0.5-inch leveling course and 1.5-inch topping course at 165 lbs/SY), and permanent pavement markings including yellow and white striping, thermoplastic stop bars, and pedestrian crossing markings in accordance with Georgia Department of Transportation specifications. All work must be completed by September 1, 2026, with milled surfaces required to be paved within five days of milling completion and all work performed during daylight hours only to avoid disruption during school traffic periods. Sealed bids must be submitted to the Office of City Manager David Hamilton at 207 South Duke Street, LaFayette, Georgia 30728 by the revised deadline of 3:00 p.m. EST on April 13, 2026 (extended by Addendum No. 1 from the original April 13 date to April 29, 2026); written questions must be submitted by March 23, 2026, with addenda posted to the Georgia Procurement Registry by March 24, 2026. Bidders must be prequalified with the Georgia Department of Transportation in appropriate work classifications as required by GDOT LMIG guidelines and must provide a bid bond equal to 5% of the base bid along with both performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price, with all bids evaluated on a unit price basis and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on actual quantities of work performed. The successful contractor must warrant all paving work for one year following completion and comply with O.C.G.A. 13-10-91 requirements, providing contractor affidavits and E-Verify information prior to contract execution.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises or women-owned/minority-owned business enterprises in the procurement documents. The City of LaFayette does not discriminate as an Equal Opportunity Employer based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or disability in the award of this contract. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is referenced in the available documents. The project will integrate with existing city infrastructure, including coordination with the City of LaFayette regarding manhole and valve adjustments, which will be performed by the city rather than the contractor. Driveway aprons must be paved as necessary to maintain accessibility, though turn lanes, side streets, and railroad crossing symbols are excluded from the scope of work. The specific budget or award value for this project is not disclosed in the provided procurement documents; however, the contract value will be determined by the actual quantities of work performed at the agreed-upon unit prices submitted by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
