Blackshear 2025 LMIG

The state and local contract opportunity is a public infrastructure procurement issued by the City of Blackshear in Pickens County, Georgia, focusing on road improvement work through the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) program. The project involves the construction and rehabilitation of approximately 0.51 linear miles of roadway, which includes comprehensive pavement restoration activities such as patching, leveling, and resurfacing. Specific technical specifications include 193 TNS of leveling, 431 TNS of 9.5 Superpave asphalt, striping, grassing, and associated infrastructure enhancements. Sealed bids are due by 11:00 am local time on March 26, 2025, at Blackshear City Hall, with bid documents available from Hofstadter and Associates, Inc. in Macon, Georgia for a non-refundable deposit of $150.00 per set. Bidders are required to submit a 10% Bidder's Bond payable to the City of Blackshear, and all bids must remain valid for 60 days after opening. The project has a prescribed completion timeline of 180 consecutive calendar days from the notice to proceed, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all bids and overlook potential proposal irregularities.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The city did not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or outline specific vendor qualifications beyond the standard bid requirements. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the procurement suggests a standard municipal infrastructure improvement project with typical competitive bidding processes. The advertisement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the technical scope suggests a mid-sized municipal infrastructure project. Given the scale of work—involving 0.51 linear miles of road reconstruction with asphalt, striping, and grassing—the project likely represents a capital investment in the range of $250,000 to $500,000, though this is an estimated projection based on the described scope of work. Potential bidders should carefully review all technical specifications and be prepared to demonstrate capability in municipal road reconstruction and related civil engineering services.
