25-046 T-9500-23-2A - Roswell Road Signal Upgrades

The City of Sandy Springs is seeking a pre-qualified prime contractor for the T-9500-23-2A Roswell Road Signal Upgrades project, a comprehensive traffic infrastructure improvement initiative located in Fulton County, Georgia. The procurement involves constructing traffic signal improvements at two intersections along Roswell Road/SR 9: one at Trowbridge Road and another at Northridge Road. Specific deliverables include traffic signal installation, pedestrian signal upgrades with APS speaker systems, LED countdown signal heads, curb cut ramps, concrete sidewalks, detection loops, and roadway restriping. Contractors must be registered with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in the work classes of Traffic Signal Installation (647) and Fiber Optic System (935), and must perform at least 51% of the work using GDOT-certified suppliers. The project requires obtaining permits from the City of Sandy Springs and GDOT, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for May 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams. Bids are due by June 16, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with a contract time of 90 calendar days for substantial completion and an additional 21 days for final completion.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements. The contractor must submit numerous documents including a bid bond, drug-free workplace certification, immigration compliance affidavit, and insurance certificates. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves integrating with existing signal infrastructure, requiring careful coordination with current roadway systems. The bid schedule includes various line items with unit pricing, and the total contract price will incorporate a 10% contingency for miscellaneous construction as directed by the engineer. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the signal upgrades, including pedestrian accessibility improvements, infrastructure modifications, and advanced detection systems, suggests a significant investment in transportation infrastructure enhancement. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in traffic signal installation, pedestrian infrastructure development, and compliance with GDOT and City of Sandy Springs specifications.
