Greenhouse structure for greenbrier high school, request number HC-01-28-25A

The Columbia County School District (CCSD) is seeking proposals for a greenhouse structure project at Greenbrier High School, designated as Request Number HC-01-28-25A. The procurement involves constructing a minimum 1,440 square foot greenhouse with specific technical requirements, including a galvanized steel frame, polycarbonate panels, comprehensive ventilation and heating systems, automated temperature controls, benches, and irrigation infrastructure. Vendors must provide complete installation services, encompassing electrical, plumbing, and permitting work, with full responsibility for site preparation, debris removal, and utility coordination. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 7, 2025, at 10:00am at Greenbrier High School, located at 5114 Riverwood Parkway in Evans, GA. Proposal submissions are due no later than January 28, 2025, at 2:00pm, to be delivered to 4781 Hereford Farm Road, Evans, GA 30809. Vendor qualifications include submitting three business references for similar projects, providing proof of insurance (general liability, workers compensation, automotive), presenting a valid business license, and submitting E-verify documentation within 10 working days of award notification.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises. Electronic bid submissions are permitted for files under 18 megabytes, with electronic signatures accepted, and can be emailed to Hudson.Chandler@CCBOE.net. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant capital investment. Vendors should note that any damage to school property during construction will be repaired by CCSD and subsequently deducted from the vendor's invoice, while damages to private property must be directly repaired by the contractor. Payment terms are established as net 30 upon project completion. The solicitation appears open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate technical capability, appropriate insurance coverage, and professional experience in greenhouse construction and installation within educational facilities.
