BL108-25 Police Training Center Firing Range Project

Gwinnett County is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the Police Training Center Firing Range Project (BL108-25), seeking qualified contractors to complete an interior build-out of a 50-yard firing range located at 854 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The project encompasses comprehensive architectural, structural, mechanical, fire protection, electrical, and low voltage work, with specific emphasis on specialized shooting range equipment and bullet containment system installation. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 28, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. in the range classroom, with sealed bids due by 2:50 P.M. on September 15, 2025, followed by a public bid opening at 3:00 P.M. Bidders must submit one unbound original and two copies of their proposal, accompanied by a five percent (5%) bid bond. The county will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, reserving the right to reject any or all bids, waive technicalities, and negotiate terms, conditions, and pricing. Contractors must demonstrate proper qualifications, including surety and insurance companies with an AM Best rating of A-8 or greater and appropriate Georgia licensing.

The procurement opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders not chartered in Georgia must provide certification of their authorization to conduct business in the state. Corporations must submit appropriate documentation demonstrating their eligibility to bid. The successful contractor will be required to provide 100% payment and performance bonds, indicating a substantial project commitment. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the firing range renovation suggests a significant capital investment. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the bid documentation. Bidders are prohibited from withdrawing their bid within sixty (60) days after the opening, and the final contract completion timeline will be determined from the "Notice to Proceed" date. The project represents a strategic investment in upgrading the Gwinnett County Police Training Center's firearms training infrastructure.
