Haralson, Church, and Ridley Road Safety Improvements

The City of LaGrange, Georgia, is soliciting bids for the Haralson Street Safety Improvements project, a comprehensive roadway intersection enhancement initiative located between Church Street and Ridley Avenue. The procurement targets civil engineering and construction services to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety through strategic infrastructure modifications, including narrowing drive lanes, constructing "bulb outs" at intersections, installing ADA-compliant accessible ramps, and implementing storm drainage improvements. Key deliverables include complete intersection reconstruction, featuring brick paver reinstallation in a "Georgia Blend" basketweave pattern, new pavement, curbing, signage, and markings across approximately 0.60 acres of disturbed area. The bid is scheduled for submission on September 25, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid conference set for September 11, 2025. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond, submit a statement of qualifications, and demonstrate compliance with local regulations, including the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. The contract duration is specified as 240 consecutive calendar days for substantial completion and 270 days for final completion, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for project delays.

The project appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and ability to meet the project's comprehensive requirements. The contract will be awarded as a single procurement, with total project costs determined by unit prices and estimated quantities. Successful bidders must provide performance and payment bonds and will be responsible for maintaining warranties and completing work according to specified standards. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves multiple line items including erosion control, demolition, storm drainage, paving, signing and marking, and includes a cash allowance for soils and concrete testing. The project is locally funded by the City of LaGrange and will be executed through Barge Design Solutions, which prepared the engineering plans and specifications. Potential bidders should carefully review the detailed technical specifications in the 2025_08_14 Haralson Street Bid Set and 2025_08_25 Combined Specs documents to ensure full understanding of the project requirements.
