Baconton Charter: Sports Facility

Baconton Community Charter School in Bacon County, Georgia, is soliciting competitive bids for the design and construction of a 140' x 95' steel building to serve as a general-purpose sports facility on its campus in Baconton. The project scope includes erection of the steel structure on a concrete foundation with customary gutters and downspouts, installation of 3" closed cell spray foam on the roof deck and gable ends, 4" open cell spray foam on exterior walls, and perimeter sealing with closed cell foam. The facility will be outfitted with interior and exterior doors and windows (steel or fire-rated wood for interior doors, steel or FRP for exterior doors, and double-paned insulated windows), adequate HVAC systems for each area, a concession area, bathrooms, and classrooms constructed with metal studs and drywall. Interior finishes include suspended grid ceilings with 2x2 and 2x4 tiles, VCT flooring throughout except for sealed concrete in the gymnasium, commercial school-grade plumbing fixtures, standard electrical outlets and lighting, and painting to be designated later. The school will provide the fire alarm system, Ethernet infrastructure, and camera installation separately, while bidders must submit a separate quote for the fire suppression system in compliance with Title 25 of the Georgia Code. The bid submission deadline is January 21, 2026, and interested parties should direct questions to lburkett@bccsblazers.org. Preliminary drawings and bid criteria documents have been posted, with detailed construction plans to follow.

This procurement opportunity has been cancelled and indefinitely postponed by Baconton Charter School to allow for design revisions that would incorporate additional classroom space into the facility. The school has stated its intention to repost the project to the Georgia Procurement Registry once the necessary modifications are completed. No information regarding set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, award values, or budget ranges is provided in the available documentation. The cancellation notice indicates that the project will be resubmitted for bidding in the future but does not specify a timeline for the redesign process or reposting of the solicitation.
