A local-vendor privilege lets qualifying local vendors within 5% of the low bid match it, but the privilege does not apply to bids exceeding $100,000.

Qualifying local vendors must maintain a regular place of business in Douglas County, hold a current occupational tax certificate, and certify compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. The scope covers water extraction, drying equipment, containment and dust control, hardwood floor repairs and refinishing, vinyl cove base replacement, court line repainting, debris removal, and final construction cleaning across the main and upper levels. Work spans two basketball courts of approximately 8,658 square feet each, a 1,273-square-foot gymnasium, and a 1,341-square-foot walking track. Subcontractors must complete E-Verify affidavits under O.C.G.A. 13-10-91, and all contractors must comply with OSHA standards and drug-free workplace certifications.

For proposals exceeding $100,000, respondents must post a bid bond with a penal sum of 5% of the estimated project cost. The winning respondent must furnish payment and performance bonds covering itself and each subcontractor with a contract exceeding $50,000. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, employers liability of at least $500,000 per accident, auto liability of at least $1 million, comprehensive general liability of at least $1 million, and professional errors and omissions coverage of at least $1 million, with the County named as additional insured. Bidders must submit at least three recent references from different companies, plus notarized non-collusion and subcontractor affidavits and a no-conflict-of-interest certification.

The contract term is one year from execution, with renewals at the County's discretion, and renewal decisions made sixty days before expiration. Pricing follows the insurance estimate provided, delivered F.O.B. Destination, with Net 30 payment terms. Proposals remain valid for sixty days. No pre-solicitation meeting is scheduled. Bidders submit electronically through BidNet Direct and must direct all inquiries through that platform, as contact with other County staff may result in disqualification.
