The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the Peachtree Corners Branch LED Lighting Replacement Project (Bid Number BL137-25), a comprehensive electrical infrastructure upgrade for the public library. The project requires a qualified contractor to completely replace all existing light fixtures with new LED lighting, including full demolition of current bug-eye fixtures, branch circuitry modifications, new light switch installations, and replacement of damaged or new ceiling tiles. Bidding documents are available through Lindsay Pope Brayfield & Associates, with sealed bids due by 2:50 P.M. local time on November 18, 2025. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 29, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at the Peachtree Corners Library location. Contractors must submit a five percent (5%) bid bond with their proposal and demonstrate capability to meet specific technical requirements. Evaluation will focus on responsiveness, contractor responsibility, and alignment with project specifications, with the county reserving the right to select the lowest responsive bidder.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified contractors, with specific requirements that bidders must be authorized to do business in Georgia and have appropriate corporate certifications. Corporations not originally chartered in Georgia must provide additional documentation of business authorization. Financial and insurance requirements are stringent, mandating that surety and insurance companies maintain an AM Best rating of A-8 or greater and be licensed in Georgia. The successful contractor will be required to provide a 100% payment and performance bond. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, standard corporate qualification criteria apply. The contract includes a liquidated damages provision of $700 per day for completion delays, and bidders cannot withdraw their proposal within 60 days after the bid opening. Though a specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the lighting replacement suggests a significant infrastructure investment for the Gwinnett County Public Library system.
