Proposal documents are available for examination at Southern A & E's office (7951 Troon Circle, Austell, Georgia 30168) or online through their plan service by contacting 770-819-7777; no deposits are required and no refunds will be made. Competitive sealed proposals will be evaluated and scored by a review committee, with results communicated in writing to all proposers. Addendum #2, issued January 22, 2026, notes that should the Jackson County School System be closed on January 27, 2026 due to inclement weather, the submission deadline shall be extended to 2:00 P.M. on the day the school system reopens, and no proposals may be withdrawn for thirty days after submission.

The procurement documents do not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting proposal eligibility to particular organization types beyond the requirement that contractors demonstrate compliance with Georgia's security and immigration laws and verification of lawful presence in the United States. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement materials. The documents do not specify an award value or budget range for the scoreboard replacement projects.
