East Railroad Street Sidewalk

The City of Alamo, located in Wayne County, Georgia, is soliciting sealed proposals for the East Railroad Street Sidewalk project (Project #2024-09), with engineering services provided by M.E. Sack Engineering. The procurement seeks a contractor to complete a comprehensive sidewalk improvement project involving grading, demolition, erosion control, and installation of approximately 59 linear feet of curb and gutter, 506 square yards of 4-foot sidewalk, stairwells, retaining walls, parking bumpers, truncated domes, and sign reinstallation. Key project objectives include maintaining continuous access to the local Post Office and implementing ADA-compliant infrastructure improvements. Contractors must be prequalified and submit a Statement of Bidder Qualifications, accompanied by a 5% bid bond or certified check. Sealed proposals are due on February 20, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. local time at 7 West Main Street, Alamo, Georgia, with a contract period of 90 consecutive calendar days from the notice to proceed. Bidders must obtain project plans and specifications for a non-refundable fee of $150 from M.E. Sack Engineering at least 5 working days before the bid date.

The contract does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must possess a Georgia Utility Contractor's License for any work involving digging 5 feet or deeper and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), damage to rented premises ($100,000), personal injury ($1,000,000), general aggregate ($2,000,000), and workers' compensation. The project is funded through a GDOT TIA Project (ID #0018971) and will require coordination with United States Postal Service (USPS) and Georgia Power. While no specific budget range is provided in the documentation, the detailed technical specifications and phased construction approach suggest a moderately complex infrastructure project. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with the successful contractor required to provide both payment and performance bonds.
