27-003 Tennis Court Upgrades - Contractor

Bibb County Public Schools is requesting proposals for construction contractor services to upgrade tennis courts at five high school facilities in Macon, Georgia, with proposals due September 30, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting on September 16, 2026.

The scope is tennis court surface repairs, re-seal coating, and stripping at Central High, Howard High, Southwest High, Rutland High, and Northeast High schools — 20 courts total (four per facility). This is a turn-key operation with completion required by January 31, 2027. The district reserves the right to utilize the selected contractor for future project expansions. Contractors must provide proof of licensing, bonding, and comprehensive insurance including Worker's Compensation with statutory limits, Commercial General Liability with minimum $1 million per occurrence, and Builder's Risk Insurance.

A local-workforce requirement mandates at least 75 percent of on-site workers reside in Bibb County and surrounding counties, signaling a meaningful local-labor preference.

Proposals are evaluated on a 1,500-point scale: cost and value (500 points), relevant experience and qualifications (400 points), quality of project approach and methodology (300 points), project timeline (200 points), and references and past performance (100 points). Pricing must remain firm for 180 days from the proposal due date.

The district requires compliance with nondiscrimination policies, drug-free workplace certification, and adherence to all federal, state, and local regulations. Board approval is tentatively scheduled for October 2026. Proposals must be submitted via the BONFIRE platform at https://bcsdk12.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities. Written questions are due September 21, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. EST. Direct inquiries to Dr. Elaine M. Wilson, Procurement Executive Director, at Elaine.Wilson@bcsdk12.net.
