Evaluation will occur between October 9-16, 2025, with a projected contract award on October 17, 2025, and work must achieve substantial and final completion by April 11, 2026, commencing within seven days of the Notice to Proceed. Contractors will be evaluated on firm reputation and similar work experience (20 points), adherence to RFP requirements (15 points), firm location with preference for Greensboro, Greene County, and surrounding counties (15 points), past performance with Greene County School System or nearby municipalities (10 points), firm workload and timely completion ability (15 points), and project cost using a lowest-price formula (25 points). Required qualifications include a valid Georgia contractor's license, a bid bond equal to five percent of the proposal amount, performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount, certificates of insurance (Commercial General Liability minimum $1,000,000, Automobile Liability minimum $1,000,000, Workers' Compensation with Statutory Limits, and Builder's Risk), and submission of W-9, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Affidavit, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and Proposer Qualifications form.

The RFP does not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or specific restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond, nor are any incumbent vendors or current contractors listed in the available documentation. The contract will be based on AIA Document A101-2017 (Standard Form of Agreement) and AIA Document A201-2017 (General Conditions of the Contract for Construction), with the contract including a $100,000 lump sum allowance for unforeseen conditions and liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for failure to achieve final completion by April 11, 2026. The detailed engineering plans prepared by Georgia Civil, Inc., specify comprehensive requirements for asphalt pavement design (6 inches of graded aggregate base, 2 inches of 19mm binder course, and 1.5 inches of 9.5mm wearing course), concrete pavement sections with 3000 PSI strength, erosion and sedimentation control measures compliant with Georgia's NPDES General Permit No. GAR100001, stormwater management features, and utility coordination. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation; however, nine contractors attended the pre-bid conference, indicating competitive market interest. All work must comply with City of Greensboro standards and specifications, and the contractor bears responsibility for utility locating, soil compaction testing, and adherence to all OSHA safety requirements.
