Bid Ref. #26-019 DOCO LMIG Resurfacing

The City of Albany is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on behalf of the Dougherty County Board of Commissioners for the 2024 & 2025 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) Resurfacing project. The procurement involves comprehensive road resurfacing for approximately 28.26 miles of roadway, encompassing 32,901 tons of asphalt concrete. Bidders must be Georgia Department of Transportation certified and will be evaluated based on their ability to complete road resurfacing, asphaltic concrete application, tack coating, striping, milling, and related infrastructure work. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed bids due by 2:30 p.m. on November 4, 2025. The contract has a specified completion time of 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $300 per day for project delays. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond, and the project will be bid on a unit price basis with payment determined by actual quantities of work completed.

The procurement includes specific requirements for contractor qualifications and compliance, including mandatory registration with the Federal Work Authorization Program and adherence to the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract amount, along with general liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit and workers' compensation coverage. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the bid emphasizes comprehensive compliance and insurance requirements. The project will be awarded on a competitive bid basis, with potential contractors evaluated on their technical capability, compliance documentation, and pricing structure. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the extensive roadway resurfacing scope suggests a significant infrastructure investment for Dougherty County, likely in the range of several hundred thousand to potentially over a million dollars depending on final unit prices and actual quantities of work completed.
