Sealed bids must be received by April 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM at the Burke County Commission Office, 602 North Liberty Street, Waynesboro, Georgia 30830, with project completion required by October 31, 2026 and work commencing within two weeks of notification.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information is identified in the bid documents for this procurement. The documents do not specify a detailed award value or budget range, though the scope of work involving approximately 8,590 tons of asphaltic concrete and extensive road resurfacing suggests a substantial contract value. All bidders must demonstrate capability to perform utility coordination, erosion control, traffic control, and provide certified testing and compaction documentation at no additional cost beyond the bid price. A pre-construction conference will be conducted before work commences, though no formal site visit or pre-bid meeting is specified as required.
