The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-48400-RWPROPMGMT000527) for Demolition and Removal of Improvements, Structures, or Other Encumbrances in Right of Way or Easement Areas, specifically located in Hall County. This procurement is exclusively open to pre-qualified firms currently listed on GDOT's prequalification roster for Right of Way Property Management Services. The project involves detailed demolition services, including removal of metal sign devices, billboards, light fixtures, electrical wiring, and associated footers at specific locations in Gainesville, Georgia. GDOT will select the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder based on a comprehensive analysis of submitted bid prices. The solicitation was posted on July 31, 2025, with bid responses due on August 7, 2025, and work expected to be completed within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must be prequalified specifically in service class E-3 for demolition, and are required to submit detailed bid prices for each parcel involved in the project.

The contract has established specific restrictions and requirements for potential bidders, including a critical communication blackout period from the advertisement date until a successful respondent is selected. GDOT has set a 15% overall annual goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, signaling an emphasis on inclusive procurement practices. Successful bidders must provide a performance and payment bond covering 100% of the total bid price and demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. Contractors must also comply with various state regulations, such as the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the requirement for performance and payment bonds suggests a substantial project scope.
