25-030-LH Deep Patch with Asphalt Resurfacing Project (2/27/25)

Macon-Bibb County is soliciting sealed bids for a Deep Patch with Asphalt Resurfacing Project under Bid Number 25-030-LH, which involves comprehensive roadway repair and resurfacing across multiple streets in Bibb County, Georgia. The project scope includes approximately 3,741 tons of milling, 3,277 gallons of bituminous tack, 5,462 square yards of roadway patching, and 3,741 tons of 9.5mm Superpave asphalt. Key deliverables include road rehabilitation with specific technical requirements such as patch width minimums, maximum patch depths, and surface treatment specifications. The project has a 150-calendar day completion timeline from the notice to proceed. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory pre-bid conference on February 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM, a deadline for submitting questions by February 14, 2025, at 3:00 PM, and bid submissions due on February 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with a public bid opening at 2:00 PM the same day. Evaluation criteria will likely include compliance with technical specifications, minority participation, local business preferences, and overall bid responsiveness.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority, Women Owned, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (M/W/DBE), with supportive resources available through the Director of Small Business Affairs. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and 100% performance and payment bonds, maintain $1 million in general liability and automobile liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify requirements for businesses with more than 10 employees. A local preference allowance of 5% is available for Bibb County businesses. The county will impose liquidated damages of $75 per day for project delays beyond the completion date. While no specific minority participation goals are mandated, contractors must complete associated participation forms and coordinate with the Macon Water Authority regarding manhole and valve locations. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability, insurability, and provide comprehensive documentation including vendor applications, non-collusion affidavits, and certification of legal compliance. Although a specific contract value is not disclosed, the extensive scope of road resurfacing across 31 streets suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment.
