26029-1519, Due West Road at SR92 Realignment Project

The Paulding County Department of Transportation is issuing a sealed-bid procurement for the Due West Road at SR92 Realignment Project (PR-CR(466), Bid #26029-1519), a transportation infrastructure construction project. The primary objective is to realign the current side street stop-controlled intersection of Due West Road at SR92 by relocating the western portion of Due West Road approximately 680 feet south of its existing location and installing a traffic signal at the new intersection, with the existing alignment barricaded and converted to local access for adjacent properties. The scope of work encompasses 85 distinct line items across multiple construction categories, including traffic control, roadway grading, concrete work, guardrails, fencing, pavement work (aggregate base, recycled asphalt concrete, milling, and reinforcement fabric), drainage infrastructure (concrete, reinforced steel, pipe, riprap, and filter fabric), erosion control measures (silt fencing, check dams, inlet traps, grassing, and seeding), signing, pavement marking, and traffic signal installation with video detection systems. The project must comply with the Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specification for Construction of Roads and Bridges, current edition, along with attached modifications and special provisions, including provisions for asphalt cement price adjustments based on monthly pricing with a 60 percent cap above the letting price. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the Paulding County Purchasing Office at 240 Constitution Boulevard, Dallas, Georgia 30132 by 10:00 a.m. EDT on Friday, May 1, 2026, with bids to be opened and read aloud at the same location immediately thereafter. The last day for submitting project questions is Monday, April 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The project has a fifteen-month completion deadline from notice to proceed, with an early completion incentive of $638 per calendar day available from the date the new alignment opens to traffic with all substantial work completed until final inspection or the designated completion date, whichever occurs first.

Each bid must be accompanied by a bid bond equal to five percent of the total contract amount or equivalent cash or certified check, with surety companies required to maintain an AM Best rating of A-6 or greater and appropriate state licensing. The successful bidder will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract amount, with payment requests due by the fifth of each month for payment by the twentieth and five percent retainage held until final project acceptance. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are identified in the procurement documents provided. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed for this project. Bids remain valid for 60 days after opening, and the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive formalities.
