The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-48400-RWPROPMGMTFAC002) for demolition and removal services at the Louisville Area Office in Jones County. This procurement specifically seeks a pre-qualified firm to perform comprehensive demolition work, which includes removing three distinct structures: a 4,000 SF modular office building, an 800 SF CMU/brick storage building, and a 1,300 SF CMU/brick office building. The project scope encompasses complete demolition, debris removal, site grading, erosion control, and mandatory asbestos abatement for Structures 2 and 3. Bidders must currently hold prequalification status for Right of Way Property Management Services issued by GDOT and possess a current prequalification certificate. GDOT will select the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder based on analysis of submitted bid prices. The bid is due on February 7, 2025, by 2:00 PM EST, with a contract performance term of 30 days from the Notice to Proceed, subject to potential modifications through a purchase change order.

The procurement includes specific requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), with GDOT adopting a 15% overall annual goal for DBE participation, though this is not a fixed quota or set-aside. Contractors must be prequalified in either Asbestos Abatement (E-2) or Demolition (E-3) service classes, with project teams required to include members qualified in both service classes. Successful bidders must provide a Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100% of the total bid price within 5 business days of receiving the purchase order. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation coverage and Commercial General Liability coverage of $1M per occurrence and $3M aggregate. Potential bidders who have not been pre-qualified by GDOT must complete the prequalification process through the department's website, specifically under the "Right-of-Way Services" section. Any bid from a firm not currently listed on GDOT's prequalification listing will not be considered for award. A communication restriction is in effect, prohibiting bidders from discussing the solicitation with GDOT staff from the advertisement date until a successful respondent is selected and announced.
