HCHS Pressbox RFP

Haralson County School District in Georgia is requesting proposals for construction of a pressbox facility at Haralson County High School, with the proposal deadline extended to February 1, 2022, at 2:00 PM via addendum.

The scope is a turn-key 30-foot by 8-foot pre-fabricated pressbox to be installed at the top of the visitor's bleachers at the high school located at 1655 Highway 120, Tallapoosa, Georgia. The pressbox is divided into three equal spaces per engineered drawings, must be pre-wired for electrical with contractor-completed connections, and includes a separate line item for a Mitsubishi mini split HVAC system. The contractor must maintain daily jobsite cleanliness and submit all pricing as separate line items. Proposers must provide estimated delivery or completion times; delivery times exceeding those specified constitute a breach of contract.

Proposers must carry comprehensive insurance: general liability with $1,000,000 minimum, employers liability with $500,000 minimum, workers compensation at statutory limits, and cyber liability of $3,000,000 minimum per occurrence. Additional Employee Fidelity Insurance of $250,000 minimum per employee is required for work on HCSD premises or involving district computer access. Proposers must provide manufacturer warranties, local repair locations, business references from comparable school systems, background check compliance statements, and Drug-Free Workplace certifications. All subcontractors must be listed with signed acknowledgements and insurance certificates.

Pricing must be firm for the contract duration. HCSD is exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax, which shall not be included in proposals. Payment terms are net 30 days after completion. HCSD reserves the right to impose a 1% daily charge on the gross purchase order for late deliveries and a 2% handling fee for invoice discrepancies. The district reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, negotiate terms prior to award, and terminate agreements for convenience when appropriated funds are no longer available.

No pre-bid meetings or public bid opening are scheduled. Bid award will be posted to Georgia Procurement no later than 30 days after the bid opening date. Contact Stacy J. Gilbert, Facilities/Maintenance Director, at 770-574-2500 or stacy.gilbert@haralson.k12.ga.us. The contract was awarded to R + R Builders + Construction, LLC.
