Kedron Pool Boiler Replacement Project (Amended 2/19/2025)

The City of Peachtree City, located in Dodge County, Georgia, is soliciting bids for the Kedron Pool Boiler Replacement Project, an infrastructure improvement initiative for the Kedron Aquatic Center. The procurement is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) that requires replacing the existing boiler system used to heat water for both pools, including replacement of pumps and related piping to circulate heating fluid through heat exchangers. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center, with sealed bids due on February 27, 2025, at 3:00 PM local time. The project requires a contractor with a current Georgia General Contractor's License and at least 5 years of experience installing commercial grade mechanical equipment, with specific restrictions against equipment substitutions. The project timeline mandates substantial completion within 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion 30 days thereafter, and includes liquidated damages of $250 per day for delays beyond specified completion dates.

Bidders must provide a 5% bid security, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds at 100% and 110% of the contract value, respectively. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the project appears open to qualified general contractors. Shumate is noted as the current maintenance contractor for controls and building/BACnet/DDC systems, and PROSTAR Fire Systems, Inc. is identified as the existing fire alarm manufacturer. The bid includes a $10,000 testing allowance for third-party test and balance services, and payment terms are specified as Net 15 days, processed by the Peachtree City Project Manager. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the project being locally funded. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of work and equipment replacement suggest a significant capital investment for the municipal infrastructure upgrade.
