Baxley 2024 LRA - LMIG

The City of Baxley, Georgia, located in Atkinson County, is soliciting bids for a 2024 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) roadway construction project. The procurement involves comprehensive roadway improvements across multiple paved roads, with specific technical requirements including traffic control, erosion control measures, construction of approximately 1,350 tons of 9.5mm RAC Superpave topping, 5,367 square yards of variable depth milling, and associated striping. Sealed bids are due on March 13, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. local time at Baxley City Hall, with a contract performance period of 180 consecutive calendar days from the notice to proceed. Bidders must submit nine mandatory items with their proposals, including a 10% bid bond, work experience list, noncollusion affidavit, contractor's license number, and various certifications. Bid documents are available for a non-refundable fee of $175.00 per set in PDF format and can be reviewed by appointment at Hofstadter and Associates, Inc. in Macon, Georgia. Bids must remain valid for 60 days after opening, and the City of Baxley reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to overlook proposal irregularities.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, bidders must meet several qualification criteria. Contractors must provide evidence of work experience, submit a valid contractor's license, and demonstrate compliance with nondiscrimination and workplace standards through various certifications. The bid package requires documentation of drug-free workplace practices, debarment status, and adherence to equal opportunity guidelines. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the project's scope suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment, with the bid bond requirement of 10% indicating a substantial project value. The City of Baxley's procurement approach emphasizes comprehensive documentation, technical competence, and regulatory compliance for potential contractors interested in this roadway improvement project.
