Bowdon Middle School Gasline UST

The Carroll County School District in Georgia is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design and installation of a gasoline underground storage tank (UST) system at Bowdon Middle School. The project encompasses excavation and installation of a 12,000-gallon Elutron coated steel tank (8 feet diameter by 32 feet in length), construction of associated infrastructure including a concrete tank pad, fuel island, fueling pad, driveway aprons, and piping systems, and installation of monitoring and dispensing equipment including an OPW Integra Tank Monitor system, Fuelmaster FMU, Emergency Stop System, and Wayne Select dispenser. All work must comply with local, state, and federal regulations and industry best practices. The RFP deadline for questions is September 15, 2023, at 12:00 PM, with proposals due September 25, 2023, at 2:00 PM. Vendors must submit one original and three copies of their proposals to Shawn Bissell, Director of Transportation, at the Carroll County Board of Education office in Carrollton, Georgia. Evaluation will occur within 60 days of proposal opening and will be weighted as follows: Vendor Qualifications (40 points), Schedule and Scope of Work/Methodologies (15 points), Cost (40 points), and Value Added (5 points). Qualified vendors must demonstrate relevant experience on comparable government and K-12 projects, possess applicable state construction licensing, and provide detailed information on firm qualifications, financial capabilities, bonding eligibility, and personnel resources.

Vendors must comply with O.C.G.A. 13-10-91 regarding E-Verify authorization and provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price issued by a corporate surety authorized to do business in Georgia. All successful bidders are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including General Liability, Contractual Liability, Auto, Excess Liability, and Workers' Compensation insurance with minimum limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence or aggregate. Pricing must be submitted as a firm, all-inclusive cost without conditions, and vendors should note that the Carroll County School District is not subject to federal excise tax or state and local taxes, so these should be excluded from quotations. The RFP does not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. The contract will remain valid until project completion and final sign-off by the Carroll County School District, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation.
