The project involves building a 40' wide by 84' long by 13'6" high structure encompassing six stalls, with specific material requirements including 6X6 pressure-treated posts, 40' steel trusses, 2X6 yellow pine purlins, and 29 gauge galvalume metal roofing. The first stall will feature a 14' X 40' X 6" concrete wash pad constructed with 4000psi concrete paving, fiber reinforcement, and #4 rebar, with drainage connected to a septic system. The remaining five stalls will be prepared with 6" of 57 stone ground padding, resulting in a total barn size of 3,360 square feet. The bid is scheduled to be opened and evaluated on January 10, 2025, with bidders required to submit sealed proposals prior to that date. The project specifies no sides or electrical components, and the selected contractor will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the bid advertisement suggests standard procurement protocols requiring bidders to submit a 5% bid bond or equivalent certified/cashier's check. Contractors must be prepared to provide 100% performance and payment bonds, with surety companies needing an AM Best rating of A6 or higher and proper Georgia licensing. The payment structure indicates monthly draw requests due by the 5th, with payments processed by the 20th, and a 10% retainage held until final project acceptance. The City of Hiram reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive formalities, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed specifications suggest a medium-scale construction project requiring specialized construction expertise in agricultural or utility infrastructure development. Bids will remain valid for 60 days after the opening date, providing potential contractors adequate time for comprehensive proposal preparation.
