The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is soliciting bids for multiple roadway and bridge construction projects across various Georgia counties, with a specific letting date of January 17, 2025. The procurement opportunity encompasses eight separate construction projects involving infrastructure improvements such as roundabout construction, bridge replacements, intersection modifications, and road widening. Bidders must submit electronic proposals using AASHTOWare Project Bids software by 11:00 AM on the specified due date, with comprehensive requirements outlined in Specification Section 102. Projects span multiple counties and include specific infrastructure enhancements like a roundabout on SR 124 in Jackson County, a bridge replacement on County Line Road in Lamar/Spalding counties, and intersection improvements on SR 162 in Newton County. Bidders are required to provide a proposal guaranty of 5% of the total bid amount and must comply with detailed technical specifications and project-specific requirements. All project documentation, including plans and specifications, will be available exclusively online through GDOT's website and approved vendor platforms.

The procurement opportunity includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals ranging from 4% to 13% across the various projects. GDOT is implementing a new electronic delivery management system (e-Ticketing) as a pilot program for aggregate and concrete materials on selected projects, indicating a focus on technological innovation in project management. Contractors must adhere to updated Buy America requirements and follow specific qualification procedures for bid submission. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the complexity and breadth of the projects suggest significant infrastructure investment across multiple counties. The projects have varying completion dates ranging from March 2026 to October 2028, providing potential contractors with multiple timeline opportunities. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, and the procurement appears open to qualified construction and civil engineering firms capable of meeting GDOT's technical and administrative requirements. Interested bidders should carefully review the complete Notice to Contractors document for comprehensive details on submission guidelines, technical specifications, and project-specific requirements.
