The contract value is $32,650. Delivery must be F.O.B. destination, prepaid and allowed, to 620 Winder Highway, Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Samples may be requested within five business days at no expense to the county.

Unit pricing must include all charges, including delivery costs. Bidders are responsible for federal excise tax and Georgia sales tax on materials; Gwinnett County is exempt from sales tax on direct purchases.

Bidders must submit a minimum of three references demonstrating similar project experience. A Contractor Affidavit and Agreement is required if applicable. All bids must comply with the Illegal Immigration Reform Enhancements for 2013 regarding worker verification and must be signed by an authorized company representative and submitted with all applicable addenda and compliance documentation to avoid automatic rejection on technical grounds. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award to multiple bidders at its discretion.
