The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 48400-RWPROPMGMT000650 for demolition and removal services in Paulding County, seeking a pre-qualified contractor to dismantle miscellaneous structures and trade fixtures within right-of-way and easement areas across 16 parcels. The scope of work encompasses removal of wood privacy fences (ranging from 48 to 203 linear feet), chain link fences, CMU/brick veneered columns, steel tensioned cable fencing, aluminum signage, and associated footings and foundations. Bidders must be pre-qualified by GDOT in the E-3 Demolition service class and provide proof of prequalification at the time of bid submission. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and is anticipated to remain in effect for thirty days from the Notice to Proceed unless modified by GDOT purchase order. Key deadlines include March 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST for submission of questions and March 31, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST for bid submission via email in PDF format to SpecialProjectsProcurement@dot.ga.gov. Site inspections were completed on February 15, 2026, with asbestos inspection reports provided to prospective bidders. Work must commence as soon as possible following the Notice to Proceed, with penalties assessed if work does not begin within two weeks of receiving the Performance and Payment Bond.

This procurement is restricted to firms that currently hold GDOT prequalification status for Right of Way Property Management Services, effectively limiting competition to pre-qualified demolition contractors. No bid bond is required; however, the winning contractor must provide a Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of the total bid price within ten business days of receiving the Notice of Intent to Award. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation statutory coverage, Commercial General Liability with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 general aggregate, and Automobile Liability with combined single limits of $1,000,000. A restriction of communication is in effect from the advertisement date until a successful respondent is selected, prohibiting respondents from communicating with GDOT staff about the solicitation except for submission of questions as instructed or through existing work agreements. No specific budget range or award value is listed in the solicitation documents, and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or incumbent contractor considerations are noted.
