CCGA 2610 Student Activity Center Fascia and Soffit Replacement

The College of Coastal Georgia, under the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is seeking a qualified general contractor to complete the Student Activity Center Fascia and Soffit Replacement project located in Brunswick, Georgia, within Dooly County. The procurement is a Design-Bid-Build contract that requires replacing existing exterior paneling, soffits, and structural supports using new fiber cement panels, continuous non-corrosive aluminum trim, and galvanized hat channels. Key project deliverables include removing existing asbestos and plywood paneling, installing new structural supports, and ensuring wind resistance up to 140 MPH. Bidders must submit qualifications by September 2, 2025, attend a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and submit sealed bids by September 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Contractor qualifications include maintaining a Current Ratio of 1.0 or higher, a Workers' Compensation Experience Modification Rate not exceeding 1.2, and demonstrating successful completion of previous public works projects. The contract requires performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the Contract Sum, with an anticipated project completion timeline of 60 consecutive calendar days.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women-owned businesses, with potential state income tax credits available for subcontracting with minority-owned enterprises. Bidders must provide a bid bond of at least 5% of their total bid and comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. The project prioritizes using Georgia-manufactured materials and employing Georgia citizens. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract allows the Owner to reject all bids, negotiate with the lowest responsive bidder, and potentially supplement the budget if initial bids exceed expectations. The architectural plans were prepared by NewBrock Architects, and the project follows multiple 2018 International Building Codes with Georgia Amendments. Although a precise budget is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid documents and detailed specifications suggest a significant capital investment in renovating the Student Activity Center's exterior infrastructure.
