Reroof and Gutter Replacement

Walker County School Systems is requesting sealed bids for reroof and gutter replacement at Walker County Central Office Buildings, 298 Culberson Avenue, Lafayette, Georgia, with bids due September 21, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. Attendance at a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 7, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. is a hard eligibility requirement — any bid submitted by a general contractor who does not attend will be returned unopened.

Bids will be evaluated on a lump-sum basis and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A bid bond equal to five percent of the base bid is required at submission, with performance and payment bonds equal to one hundred percent of the contract price required before construction commencement. Surety companies must be listed on the Federal Register and licensed in Georgia. Bidders must comply with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act (O.C.G.A. 13-10-91) and verification of lawful presence through the SAVE Program, with executed affidavits included in the bid packet.

The contract is a fixed-price construction agreement. Payment will be made in ninety-percent monthly installments upon architect approval, subject to retainage and liquidated damages for delay in achieving substantial completion. Liquidated damages are tiered by contract price range, from $50 daily for contracts up to $49,999.99 to 0.0002 multiplied by the original contract price for contracts of $20 million or above. The contractor must furnish a critical path method schedule within fifteen days of commencement and as-built drawings upon final completion. The contractor bears responsibility for all permits, licenses, and subcontractor management.

Bid documents are available at Southern A & E, 7951 Troon Circle, Austell, Georgia 30168, or by calling 770-819-7777 for online access. Complete sets only are provided; no deposits are required and no refunds will be issued. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud on September 21 with no extensions permitted. No bids may be withdrawn for sixty days following opening.
