Savannah-Chatham County Public School System is requesting qualifications for RFQ C27-07 to prequalify contractors for on-call small construction projects under $250,000 on an annual basis, with qualifications due November 19, 2026 and a pre-submission conference on November 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Professional Learning Center Whitney Complex in Savannah. No successfully prequalified offeror is guaranteed future project awards; SCCPSS retains discretion to negotiate with prequalified vendors on an as-needed basis for at least one year following publication of the approved vendors list.

Eligible service categories span 17 construction trades: demolition, painting and preparation, framing, drywall installation and repair, door and hardware installation, electrical work, ceiling systems, flooring, roofing (metal, low slope, and shingle), masonry, casework and millwork, fencing installation and repair, concrete work, plumbing, earthwork, HVAC, and division 10 specialties. Offerors must hold valid Georgia business authorization, applicable professional licenses, and satisfy E-Verify compliance under O.C.G.A. 13-10-91. Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, Commercial Automobile Liability of $1,000,000, workers' compensation at statutory limits, and umbrella coverage of $2,000,000 per claim and $400,000 aggregate are mandatory. Bonding capacity of at least $250,000 per project is required; projects exceeding $100,000 require Performance and Payment Bonds equal to the contract amount from sureties authorized in Georgia or appearing on the U.S. Treasury's approved list. Offerors must certify non-debarment, federal work authorization, and compliance with federal lobbying restrictions.

Proposals must address company experience, project lead qualifications, years of experience by service type, largest completed projects since January 1, 2026, staffing practices, acceptable price ranges, and three references per service category. All responses must be submitted under oath and notarized through the SCCPSS Bonfire Hub portal. Contracts initially run one year with options for two additional one-year extensions by mutual written agreement. SCCPSS reserves the right to solicit particular projects separately and select non-prequalified offerors or cancel this RFQ entirely.
