The scope of work encompasses 23.61 miles of deep mill patching, leveling/topping, and new paving across twenty-four county roads and seven city streets, with specific projects including Eastman Mountain Road (2.3 miles), Screamer Mountain Drive (1.45 miles), and Crusher Run Road (1.4 miles), among others. Sealed proposals must be submitted by 9:00 a.m. on March 16, 2026, at the Rabun County Commission Conference Room, 2nd floor of the County Courthouse in Clayton, Georgia, with public bid opening and reading to follow immediately thereafter. All work must be completed by November 6, 2026, and shall comply with the 2001 edition of Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and applicable supplemental specifications. Bidders are required to submit a proposal guaranty (bid bond) equal to five percent of the total bid amount, and the successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to the full contract amount, plus proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance meeting specified minimum limits. Work must be performed during daylight hours only with appropriate traffic control measures using tripod or post-mounted signs.

The county has implemented a local bidder preference program allowing up to five percent of the bid amount or fifty thousand dollars, whichever is less, for individuals or businesses maintaining a place of business or inventory in Rabun County, licensed by county or state authorities, and subject to Rabun County real estate or personal property taxes. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the procurement documents. Recycled asphalt product generated during construction must be directed to either the Rabun County Road Department or the City of Clayton as directed by the Road Director. Payment will be made monthly based on estimated work completed in place, with retainage held at five percent until the project reaches fifty percent completion, after which retainage may be reduced to two and one-half percent if work status is satisfactory. The county reserves the right to reject any and all bids, waive minor informalities, modify the project scope, or re-advertise if necessary. No specific budget range or award value is stated in the bid packet.
