Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive asphalt and concrete services district-wide through Invitation for Bid (IFB 25-09007-B-CP). The procurement covers a wide range of paving and construction services, including asphalt pavement installation, concrete work for sidewalks and driveways, decorative concrete installations, curb and gutter sections, road base construction, traffic striping, and related maintenance activities. Contractors must be prepared to perform services across APS facilities, with specific deliverables including pavement patching, paving overlay, handicapped parking markings, fire hydrant markings, and dumpster pad services. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 17, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. ET located at 1631 LaFrance Street North East, Atlanta, with final bid submissions due by January 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET through the Bonfire platform. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical capabilities, and compliance with detailed specifications outlined in the bid documents.

The contract will have an initial one-year term with four potential one-year renewal options at APS's discretion, with pricing required to remain firm for the first year and potential Consumer Price Index-based adjustments thereafter. Contractors must meet substantial insurance requirements, including Workers Compensation, $2M in General Liability, $1M in Automobile Liability, and $1M in Umbrella Liability coverage. Additionally, all contractors must undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check at a cost of $45 plus service fees before providing services. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, contractors must obtain all necessary permits and provide a one-year warranty on all completed work. The pricing sheet indicates potential service values ranging from hourly equipment rates to comprehensive project-based pricing, suggesting a potentially significant contract value depending on the scope of work performed across APS facilities. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical expertise in asphalt and concrete services, with the ability to provide comprehensive infrastructure maintenance and construction solutions.
