Courthouse Window Replacement

The Pulaski County Commission is requesting proposals for the replacement of 66 windows in the historic Pulaski County Courthouse located at 141 Commerce Street, Hawkinsville, Georgia, with proposals due June 19, 2026, and contract award notification expected July 6, 2026. Compliance with National Historic Preservation Act standards and the building's original Neo-Classical architectural character is mandatory; the 1874 courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The scope encompasses replacement of existing wood and steel hung-sash units with new wood or clad-wood double-hung units matched to historic specifications, site evaluation, exterior surface preparation and repainting, and installation with minimal disruption during continued building operations. Project completion is required within six to eight months of contract execution. Proposals must document contractor experience with at least three references from similar historic window replacement projects, a detailed methodology addressing materials and preservation compliance, a comprehensive cost breakdown, warranty information, and proof of relevant licenses and insurance.

The RFP encourages participation from small businesses, female-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses; contractors utilizing qualified minority subcontractors may qualify for Georgia state income tax credits. No specific contract value, budget range, or incumbent are identified. Evaluation criteria include experience with historic window replacement, preservation guideline compliance, project timeline and methodology, cost competitiveness, references, and warranty support. Proposals should be submitted to Pulaski County Commission at 45 South Lumpkin Street, Hawkinsville, Georgia 31036, or via email to jmashburn@Pulaskico.com. Questions should be directed to Laurie Obert-Thorn at laurie@pulaskico.com or (478) 783-4154.
