Cumming City Park Retaining Wall Improvements

The City of Cumming, Georgia Department of Utilities is requesting sealed bids for civil site work and drainage improvements associated with replacement of an existing retaining wall at the Cumming Recreation & Parks Department, with bids due August 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time at City Hall, 100 Main Street, 4th Floor Suite 401. Bidders must hold a Georgia State Contractor's License of proper classification and provide the license number on the sealed proposal envelope; failure to do so results in bid rejection.

The scope includes demolition, grading, and drainage improvements for approximately 350 linear feet of existing tie-back walls to be replaced with approximately 390 linear feet of a new Versalok wall system. Project bidding documents and specifications are available in PDF format only upon payment of a non-refundable $25.00 fee; contractors paying this fee will be added to the Plan Holders list and receive periodic addenda and notifications.

Evaluation is weighted 80 percent pricing (lowest base price receives maximum points; other bidders receive proportional points) and 20 percent bidder qualifications. All bidders must submit a Bid Bond equal to 5 percent of the bid amount, executed with an acceptable surety company listed in U.S. Treasury Circular 570, or alternatively a cashier's check, certified check, or cash deposit equal to at least 5 percent of the contract amount. The successful bidder will furnish a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond, each in the amount of 100 percent of the bid, or provide an Irrevocable Letter of Credit from a local Forsyth County bank. All required federal, state, and local permits, easements, and rights of way will be obtained prior to construction by the City. Contractor questions must be submitted electronically to Alex Niebieski at Alex.Niebieski@kimley-horn.com by August 4, 2026.
