BL090-25, Gwinnett County Gateway Monuments Project

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the Gateway Monuments Project through the Department of Transportation. The project involves constructing a gateway monument located in the eastbound Right of Way of SR 20 east of the Chattahoochee River in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Specific project scope includes clearing and grubbing, grading, constructing a new monument, and grassing. Sealed bids are due by 2:50 P.M. local time on July 17, 2025, and must be submitted to the Gwinnett County Financial Services - Purchasing Division. Bid documents are available for purchase from Atlas Technical Consultants, LLC for a non-refundable fee of $40.00 per set. Bidders are required to submit a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check for 5% of the total bid amount. Successful vendors must provide 100% performance and payment bonds with specific insurance requirements, including an A.M. Best rating of A-8 or higher.

The procurement process includes specific restrictions on bidder eligibility, particularly for firms currently on the Gwinnett County ineligible source list, who are prohibited from submitting bids or proposals. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, split awards, or negotiate terms with the lowest responsive and responsible vendor. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement emphasizes non-discrimination and provides accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Award notification will be posted on the county website, and companies will be notified via email. Though a specific budget range is not provided in the documentation, the requirement for bid bonds and performance guarantees suggests a significant project investment. The procurement process appears designed to ensure comprehensive vendor qualification and project execution through rigorous bidding and bonding requirements.
