Morgan County Former Jail Demolition and Site Restoration

Morgan County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) is inviting qualified demolition and environmental contractors to bid on the demolition and site restoration of the former Morgan County Jail located at 2380 Athens Highway, Madison, Georgia, with sealed bids due September 9, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on August 5, 2026.

Attendance by an authorized representative at the August 5 pre-bid meeting is mandatory for bids to be considered responsive; representatives must sign an official attendance sheet. The meeting precedes issuance of final bid documents and is being conducted to obtain contractor questions and input regarding existing conditions, constructability, demolition sequencing, environmental considerations, and appropriate project specifications.

The scope encompasses demolition of the existing jail structure and associated improvements, removal and lawful disposal of demolition debris and regulated materials, protection of adjacent property and utilities, utility coordination, grading, erosion control, site stabilization, and restoration of disturbed areas. Due to the facility's age, contractors should anticipate the presence of regulated building materials including asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, mercury-containing devices, PCB-containing materials, fluorescent lamps, and refrigerants requiring special handling and lawful disposal.

An environmental assessment has not been completed as of the notice date, and Morgan County reserves the right to conduct additional environmental investigations prior to issuing final bid documents. The County also reserves the right to identify items for salvage prior to demolition. Final project limits, methods, alternates, contract requirements, schedule, and contract terms will be provided in final bid documents to be issued following the pre-bid meeting.

Sealed bids open Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at the Morgan County Board of Commissioners office, 150 E. Washington Street, Madison, Georgia. The contact engineer is Aaron Wadley, PE, at aaron@tv-eng.com or 404-326-4522.
