Purchase and Installation of Loading Dock Shelters

Gwinnett County Department of Support Services is requesting written quotes for the purchase and installation of two loading dock shelters at the Gwinnett Central Services facility located at 455 Grayson Highway, Lawrenceville, Georgia, with quotes due March 17, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. A mandatory site visit is required prior to submission to inspect existing conditions; the building's exterior is noted as always accessible.

The scope requires qualified contractors to provide all materials and labor for installing dock shelters at a pair of dock doors on the building's rear. Quotes must identify a single all-inclusive price for materials and labor, the proposed manufacturer and model of the dock shelters (Nova Rigid Frame series is referenced as a basis for comparison but not required), and the lead time for obtaining materials. Work must be performed during normal business hours under County Representative supervision, with the facility remaining accessible to other vendors and employees throughout the project. All work must be completed by November 1, 2023. The contractor must provide a work schedule within two weeks of purchase order award and at least 14 days in advance of the proposed start date.

The contractor must obtain and maintain comprehensive insurance throughout the project: statutory workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $500,000, auto liability of $500,000, and umbrella liability of $1,000,000, with Gwinnett County named as an additional insured. A one-year warranty on all materials and workmanship is required, with a maximum 48-hour response time for repairs during the warranty period. E-Verify compliance is mandatory per Georgia's Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act. Submissions must include three references for similar projects completed within the past five years, a signed notarized Contractor Affidavit and Agreement, Quote Schedule, and Subcontractor List. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder at the County's sole discretion.
