ACE Main Parking Expansion

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Academy for Classical Education (ACE), a private educational institution located in Macon, Georgia, for the expansion of its main parking lot. The project scope includes the addition of approximately 80 new parking spaces at 5665 New Forsyth Road in Macon, Georgia, with deliverables encompassing relocation or removal of underground power utilities, demolition of portions of the existing parking lot, grading, storm drainage, erosion control, curb and gutter installation, and asphalt paving. The contract will be awarded as a single contract with a contract time of 90 calendar days, and award will be made to the responsible and responsive proposer whose proposal is deemed most advantageous to the Owner based on evaluation factors detailed in a Scoring Matrix. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the ACE Main Office by 11:00 A.M. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Each proposal must be accompanied by a Bid Bond equal to 5% of the Contract Amount, which must be obtained from Carter Engineering Group, LLC (the Engineer of Record), and the successful proposer will be required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each equal to 100% of the Contract Price. Liquidated damages of $250 per day will be assessed for work extending beyond milestone completion dates, and all necessary permits are expected to be acquired prior to proposal receipt.

The procurement documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond to this solicitation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available documentation. The project does not appear to require integration with existing infrastructure or technology beyond the relocation or removal of underground power utilities already noted in the scope of work. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the posted materials; however, the Bid Bond requirement of 5% of the Contract Amount and the Performance and Payment Bond requirements of 100% of the Contract Price serve as financial benchmarks for interested proposers. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted in response to this solicitation.
