BL054-26 Classified and Unclassified Hauling Services on an Annual Contract

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is soliciting competitive sealed bids for Classified and Unclassified Hauling Services on an annual contract basis for the Department of Transportation (BL054-26). The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide hauling services for materials and debris throughout Gwinnett County and surrounding areas. Classified hauling services include small aggregate and surge stone, as well as rip-rap and large stone from quarries, all compensated on an hourly basis. Unclassified hauling covers materials such as dirt, brush, limbs, and small stone where weights cannot be determined, also paid hourly. Qualified bidders must provide pricing on the County's fee schedule for hourly rates per truck for both regular and Saturday hauling services, state the number of available tandem dump trucks with a minimum 10 cubic yard capacity, and furnish seven trucks and drivers within 24 hours upon request. Contractors must submit a minimum of three references for similar work completed within the last five years, maintain current certificates of insurance meeting specified requirements (general liability, automobile liability, workers compensation, and umbrella coverage), and complete E-Verify and Code of Ethics affidavits. Sealed bids must be submitted in duplicate and received by 2:50 P.M. on April 14, 2026, at the Gwinnett County Financial Services - Purchasing Division, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30046, with virtual bid opening via WebEx. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for 10:00 A.M. on March 30, 2026, at the Gwinnett County DOT Central Facility, 620 Winder Highway NE, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30045. Questions must be directed to Michael Milstein, Purchasing Associate II, no later than March 31, 2026. The contract will be for twelve months initially, with four one-year renewal options available at the County's discretion, and firm pricing must be maintained for the initial contract term with options to propose percentage adjustments for renewal periods.

The County reserves the right to reject any or all bids and make award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contractors currently listed on the Gwinnett County ineligible source list are ineligible to submit bids. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents. Billable hours commence when trucks arrive on site as directed by the County, typically between 7:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., and service providers must provide hauling tickets within 48 hours of service completion while utilizing the most direct truck route for each job. If the County cancels a scheduled service after a service provider arrives on site, the provider may bill for a maximum of two hours at the contracted hourly rate, or actual hours if on site for more than two hours, subject to County verification and approval. The estimated annual quantities include 800 hours for standard material hauling and 80 hours for Saturday services, though actual quantities will be on an as-needed basis. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are identified in the solicitation documents.
