25-026 5030 High Point Road Drainage Improvement Project

The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, through Fulton County, is soliciting bids for the 25-026 5030 High Point Road Drainage Improvement Project, an infrastructure enhancement initiative focused on storm drainage system replacement. The project encompasses installing a new 75-foot culvert, two double wing catch basins, two concrete headwalls, rip-rap energy dissipation at the outfall, and comprehensive embankment grading. Additional associated work includes reconstructing sidewalk, header curb, curb and gutter, handrail, and pouring 688 square feet of 10" black integral colored concrete. The bid opening is scheduled for January 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST via Zoom, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on-site at 5030 High Point Road on January 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Prospective bidders must submit questions by January 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and the project must be completed within 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Contractors are required to submit a 5% bid bond and, upon award, provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract value.

The procurement allows for multiple types of contractors, with a requirement that the awarded contractor must perform at least 51% of the work directly rather than through subcontractors. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate), automobile liability ($1M), and umbrella coverage ($3M). Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be applied for project delays. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the Bonfire Portal, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive technicalities. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project's scope and complexity suggest a significant infrastructure investment. The plan holders list indicates 37 companies have obtained project plans, including various construction firms such as Advanced Road Construction LLC, Baldwin Paving Company Inc., and Blount Construction Company Inc., representing a competitive bidding environment for this drainage improvement project.
