McIntosh Co. 2025 LMIG/TSPLOST YR 4

McIntosh County, Georgia is soliciting bids for a comprehensive road infrastructure improvement project under Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 2503, which encompasses Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) Year 4 and 2025 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) funding. The project involves resurfacing and base material installation for 4.14 linear miles of county-maintained roads, specifically targeting Blue N Hall Road, Animal Shelter Drive, West Place Drive, Lecounte Road, Parnell Road, Trout Street, Jane Avenue, Casey Road, and Poppel Farms Road. The procurement requires approximately 5,033 tons of asphalt, 13,720 square yards of graded aggregate base, along with associated grading, striping, and paving-related work. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 23, 2025, at 11 A.M., with sealed bids due on May 7, 2025, at 11 A.M. Bids will be evaluated based on responsiveness and responsibility, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder. The contract term is set at 180 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for project completion delays.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements and provide proof of a drug-free workplace. Bidders are required to submit a bid bond for 5% of their total bid price and various affidavits demonstrating compliance with state regulations. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project involves standard road infrastructure improvements using typical municipal funding sources (TSPLOST and LMIG). McIntosh County reserves the right to reject any or all bids, suggesting flexibility in the procurement process. The project's technical specifications include detailed unit pricing for elements such as traffic control, grading, asphalt concrete, tack coat, striping, grassing, and highway signs. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the extensive scope of work involving nearly 5,033 tons of asphalt and 13,720 square yards of base material indicates a substantial infrastructure investment for the county.
