The Request for Quote (RFQ #24-26) specifically targets restoration of exterior wood-frame windows, doors, vents, and related architectural components, with detailed specifications for surface preparation, caulking, and painting. Contractors must use Sherwin-Williams "Super White" gloss paint, install new white metal flashing, and maintain the historic character of the facility. The solicitation requires submissions via the County's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 pm on Monday, November 17, 2025, with quotes remaining firm for 90 days. Interested contractors can schedule a site visit by contacting Greg Brown at 678-371-1665. Prospective bidders must provide proof of various insurance coverages, including Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability, and comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. Evaluation will likely consider both technical capabilities and pricing, with an emphasis on preserving the historical integrity of the courthouse.

The project includes a Supplier Inclusion Program that actively encourages participation from diverse business types, specifically targeting small businesses, local vendors, veteran-owned businesses, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and female-owned businesses. Potential vendors within five percent of the lowest bid may receive preference, particularly those based locally in Henry County or the surrounding region. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the solicitation, the comprehensive restoration nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in maintaining the historic courthouse infrastructure. The procurement approach demonstrates a commitment to supporting local economic development and providing opportunities for businesses from traditionally underrepresented groups. Contractors will need to demonstrate not only technical proficiency in historic building restoration but also a commitment to the county's broader economic and inclusive procurement goals.
