Lake Hearn Drive Sidepath Construction Project

The City of Brookhaven, Georgia, through Invitation to Bid No. 26-105, is procuring construction services for the Lake Hearn Drive Sidepath Construction Project. This project involves the removal of approximately 450 linear feet of existing sidewalk on the north side of Lake Hearn Drive between Perimeter Center Parkway and the first driveway to the west, with replacement by an approximately 8-foot-wide multiuse sidepath. The scope of work includes demolition and hauling of existing concrete sidewalk, coordination with Georgia Power for relocation of decorative pedestrian street lights, grading and compaction, forming and pouring of new concrete multiuse sidepath, and restoration with new sod installation, along with potential minor repairs to existing curb, gutter, and ADA-compliant handicap ramps. All materials must be sourced from Georgia Department of Transportation-certified suppliers, and all work must comply with GDOT Standard Specifications. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000, and professional liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per claim. The pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM, with written questions due by March 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM. Bids are due April 3, 2026 at 1:00 PM through the Bonfire Portal, with contract award anticipated at the April 28, 2026 City Council Meeting. The project requires substantial completion within 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for unexcused delays.

The successful bidder must submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the bid amount payable to the City of Brookhaven, and upon award, furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract price, plus a maintenance bond in the amount of one-third of the contract price to guarantee repair or replacement for one year following construction completion.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The project spans both Fulton County (55 percent) and DeKalb County (45 percent) jurisdictions, crossing Perimeter Community Improvement Districts in both the City of Brookhaven and City of Sandy Springs, requiring coordination with multiple utility owners and adherence to local requirements across jurisdictions. Contractors are responsible for calling utility locations prior to project start and coordinating with utility owners, with no additional compensation provided for utility conflicts.
