Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) is soliciting bids through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2025005 for the replacement of various LED monument signs across six district locations: Hawthorne Elementary, Edmonds Elementary, Huie Elementary, Marshall Elementary, Southern Crescent Stadium, and Riverdale Elementary. The procurement involves complete installation of new double-sided LED monument signs, including foundational work, masonry construction, electrical connections, and control systems. Qualified bidders must provide comprehensive sign replacement services that include architectural site preparation, structural foundation establishment, electrical infrastructure integration, and fully functional electronic message board systems. The project requires precise construction per detailed architectural and engineering specifications developed by PBK Architects, Andrews Hammock & Powell, and Kubala Engineers. Bid responses are due by March 6, 2025, with a posted solicitation date of January 31, 2025, and bidders must submit all required documentation including completed bid forms, affidavits, and compliance certifications to be considered responsive.

The procurement includes a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) program with specific contracting goals, establishing a 15% participation target for local businesses within Clayton County or the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area. Eligible businesses must be for-profit entities with a physical presence, current business license, and at least one year of operational history prior to bid submission. CCPS will provide preference points for certified local businesses, including 5 points in proposal evaluations and the ability to match low bids within 5%. Prime contractors must report monthly SLBE usage and ensure subcontractor payments within seven days of receiving payment from the district. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the six-location sign replacement project suggests a substantial investment in district infrastructure modernization. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with E-Verify requirements, provide non-collusion certifications, and show no conflicts of interest with the school district to be considered for contract award.
