Pavement Maintenance for Sonoraville Campus

The Gordon County School System (GCSS) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025-11 for comprehensive pavement maintenance services at the Sonoraville Campus, seeking a contractor to provide all necessary equipment, labor, materials, and related services. The project scope includes surface cleaning, appropriate repairs, tack coat application, asphalt overlay, and restriping and painting of newly paved areas. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 16, 2025, at 10:00 am EST at Sonoraville High School, with attendance required for bid eligibility. Sealed proposals must be submitted by 2:00 PM EST on June 2, 2025, to the GCSS Purchasing Department. The proposal evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system: compliance with specifications (20 points), firm qualifications (10 points), responsiveness (20 points), previous experience (10 points), and overall cost (40 points). An additional local preference of 10 points may be awarded to vendors with a physical point-of-sale in Gordon County, Georgia, if all other factors are equal and their pricing is within 5% of the lowest proposal.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the RFP. Vendors must provide several key documents to be considered, including liability insurance, drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, and three reference letters. The contract will be awarded to the vendor deemed most advantageous to GCSS, with the Superintendent recommending the final selection to the Board. Pricing must remain firm for 180 days, and no price increases or additional costs will be honored during the proposal period. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive evaluation criteria suggest that cost will be a significant factor in the selection process. Interested vendors should carefully review the full RFP document and ensure complete compliance with all submission requirements and specifications to maximize their potential for contract award.
