Asphalt Resurfacing ¿ Multiple Roads

The Heard County Board of Commissioners has issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for an asphalt resurfacing project targeting multiple roads within the county. The procurement seeks Georgia State licensed contractors to complete a comprehensive road resurfacing initiative covering approximately 4.36 miles, including Hollingsworth Ferry Road, Holliday Road, Sargent Circle, Jenkins Circle, Stephens Circle, Hopewell Street, and Thompson Street. All bidders must be prequalified and in good standing with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), with specific requirements including submission of a 5% bid bond, comprehensive documentation such as pricing proposals, insurance evidence, certification forms, and E-Verify documentation. The bid was released on April 23, 2025, with bid submissions due on May 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and the contract term is anticipated to be 120 days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within 14 days following substantial completion. Key technical specifications align with current GDOT standards and include unit pricing for traffic control, recycled asphalt concrete, bituminous tack coat, and traffic striping.

The project is funded through SPLOST 5 (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax), with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The successful contractor will be required to provide 100% performance and payment bonds, and the county will retain 10% of each progress payment until 50% of the contract value is completed, after which retainage may be reduced. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly listed, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors meeting the state licensing and GDOT prequalification requirements. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the road resurfacing project spanning multiple streets suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement. Contractors interested in responding to this opportunity must carefully review the technical specifications, complete all required documentation, and demonstrate the capability to execute the road resurfacing project within the specified 120-day contract term.
