Downtown Multi-Use Facility Construction

The City of Thomaston in Ware County, Georgia, is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive Downtown Multi-Use Facility Construction project, with proposals due on May 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The procurement involves constructing a pavilion with an adjacent restroom facility, which includes extensive infrastructure work such as a parking area, curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks, water and sanitary sewer systems, storm sewer, grading, electrical work, and landscaping. Bidders must be licensed by the State of Georgia and are required to submit a bid bond or certified cashier's check for 5% of the base bid. The project scope also encompasses road resurfacing, traffic control, erosion control, and other ancillary items necessary for complete project execution. Bid documents are available on QuestCDN.com for a non-refundable fee of $200, and potential bidders must be registered purchasers of the complete Bidding Documents. No bid withdrawal will be permitted for 60 days after the closing time, and the City reserves the right to reject any bids that do not meet its standards or are not in the project's best interest.

The project is funded through multiple sources, including the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the City of Thomaston's own resources. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the successful bidder will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract price. The document does not specify an exact budget range or award value, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring specific integration. Potential bidders should note the comprehensive nature of the project, which demands a versatile contractor capable of managing multiple facets of urban infrastructure development, from civil engineering to landscaping and electrical work. The multi-source funding and complex project scope suggest a significant investment in the downtown area's infrastructure and community development.
