The contractor must be a Georgia Department of Transportation pre-qualified Prime Contractor and must perform at least 51 percent of the work directly—a capability-gate filter.

The bid schedule contains 46 line items with a miscellaneous construction contingency of $75,000. The contract duration is 300 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with work restricted to 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Monday through Friday. Work must comply with Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and applicable federal and state laws, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and NPDES permitting. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permits and coordinating utility relocations with City of Atlanta Water, Fulton County Sewer, Georgia Power, AT&T, and Comcast.

A bid bond is required if the proposal exceeds $100,000; performance and payment bonds are required upon award. Liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the 300-calendar-day period. The project is funded through the Sandy Springs TSPLOST program. Questions are due July 22 at 5:00 PM. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the Bonfire Portal. The City reserves the right to reject all bids and award based on best interest determination.
