Acworth Due West, Ragsdale Road Multi-Use Trail Project

The City of Acworth, a municipality located in Cobb County, Georgia, issued a sealed bid solicitation (IFB Number 2026-06) for the Acworth Due West/Ragsdale Road Multi-Use Trail Project. This infrastructure procurement sought competitive bids from qualified contractors to design and construct a multi-use trail connecting the Due West and Ragsdale Road areas within Acworth. A voluntary pre-bid meeting was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at the City Clerk's Office (4415 Center Street, Acworth, GA 30101) to allow prospective bidders to review project details, ask clarifying questions, and conduct site inspections. Sealed bids were to be submitted to the City Clerk's Office no later than 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, with all required bid documentation clearly marked with the IFB number, project description, bidder information, and opening date on the sealed envelope. All bidders were required to comply with general and special instructions outlined in the bid package, which could be obtained by contacting Angie Luna at (770) 974-5233 or aluna@acworth-ga.gov during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). The City of Acworth reserved the right to waive informalities, accept or reject any or all bids, and re-advertise the project as deemed in the City's best interest.

However, the bid solicitation was subsequently canceled via a Bid Cancellation Form issued by Randy Benson, Public Works Director, due to unforeseen issues discovered during the engineering review process that required further evaluation and resolution before the project could proceed to competitive bidding. The cancellation was implemented to allow adequate time for clarification of technical matters and to ensure that prospective bidders would receive a complete and accurate bid package. The original documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent contractors, technological integration requirements, or budget/award values for this project. Interested parties seeking information about the re-advertised bid were directed to contact Angie Luna at (770) 974-5233 or aluna@acworth-ga.gov, referencing IFB Number 2026-06, as the City planned to reissue the solicitation once all necessary engineering and technical issues had been resolved.
