Mt. Vernon HOGA TIA 2. 0 Band 2: E. Days St. & Others

The City of Mt. Vernon in Montgomery County, Georgia is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB No. 2508, Contract ID: IGATIA2601223) for roadway improvements under the HOGA TIA 2.0 Band 2 project encompassing approximately 3.75 miles of patching, leveling, resurfacing, milling, and striping work across 14 street segments including East Days Street, East Edwards Street, North Minnie Street, East Pearl Street, Lewis Street, East Folsom Street, East Connell Street, East Palmer Street, West McRae Drive, East Mount Vernon Street, West Mount Vernon Street, South Railroad Avenue, East Jefferson Street, North Walker Street, and a spot overlay on Sutton Street. Deliverables include the placement of 3,460 tons of recycled asphalt concrete, 3,630 gallons of tack materials, milling of 9,400 square yards of asphalt, 24 square yards of four-inch concrete sidewalk work, installation of four wheelchair ramps, and thermoplastic striping in white and yellow. The successful contractor must demonstrate relevant experience with similar roadway projects, provide legal and character qualifications documentation, and furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price along with a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount. The project has a 180 consecutive calendar day contract period from the Notice to Proceed, with a critical intermediate completion requirement of 60 calendar days for all paving operations; failure to meet this deadline subjects the contractor to liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Mt. Vernon City Hall (435 S Railroad Street), and sealed bids are due March 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the same location. The contractor must comply with current Georgia DOT Standard Specifications, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements, prevailing wage standards, drug-free workplace certification, and equal employment opportunity provisions, and must assume responsibility for utility location and protection, traffic control, and maintenance during construction until final acceptance.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly identify specific set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, though all work must comply with prevailing wage standards and equal employment opportunity provisions as mandated by Georgia law. No incumbent contractors or existing vendors are listed in the procurement documents. The contract is governed by Georgia law, and payment will be made monthly within 30 days of receipt and approval of invoices by the Owner's Representative, with 90% payment upon approval when the project value is less than 50% complete or 10% retainage if the schedule is unsatisfactory; upon reaching 50% completion within the Owner's satisfaction timeline, retainage reduces to 10% of the first 50% only. The contractor must provide evidence of insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit for general liability and $1,000,000 for automobile coverage. While a specific total contract award value is not stated in the procurement documents, the project scope suggests a substantial infrastructure improvement contract; bidders should contact the technical representative, Hayden Rozier II of Roberts Civil Engineering, LLC (hrozier@robertscivilengineering.com), for clarification on budget range or estimated project value. The City of Mt. Vernon reserves the right to waive all technicalities, reject any or all bids, and make the award in its best interest.
