Request for Proposal for Lanier County High School Head House and Shelter

The Lanier County School System in Lakeland, Georgia, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive reconstruction project at Lanier County High School involving the complete demolition and removal of an existing headhouse and shelter damaged by Hurricane Helene. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires constructing a new 30' X 150' pre-engineered metal building with specific technical specifications, including a 2-12 roof pitch, 12' wall height, commercial-grade sheet metal siding, full spray foam insulation, and necessary electrical services. Proposals will be evaluated and scored by the Superintendent, Finance Director, and Maintenance Director using three primary criteria: relevant construction experience (10 points), proximity to site (10 points), and total price (30 points), with a total of 50 available points. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025, at 10:00 am at the high school location, with the final proposal deadline set for Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 12:00 pm local time. Potential bidders must be properly licensed, capable of obtaining required insurance and performance bonds, and submit a bid bond as mandated by Georgia law.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to complete the project within a mutually agreed-upon timeframe, with the owner reserving the right to reject any or all proposals and not being liable for respondents' proposal preparation costs. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves a significant reconstruction effort that will require substantial capital investment. Potential bidders must submit written questions about the RFP via email to Brad Doyon and be prepared to meet comprehensive licensing and insurance requirements. The project represents a critical infrastructure restoration effort for Lamar County, specifically addressing hurricane damage to educational facilities and replacing critical school infrastructure.
