RFQ - Commercial Contractor

The City of Sylvania, Georgia is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a licensed commercial contractor to oversee comprehensive renovation projects in 2026, specifically targeting the Cail Community Center and the Fire Department. The Cail Community Center project involves extensive interior and exterior renovations, including demolition and replacement of bathrooms, kitchen, plumbing systems, electrical panels, HVAC units, flooring, doors, windows, and comprehensive painting. The Fire Department addition requires constructing a new metal building frame, concrete pier replacement, roofing installation, masonry work, and interior electrical systems. Interested contractors must submit sealed bids to the City Manager's Office by December 18, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., either in person at 104 S. Main Street or via email to csylv@planters.net. Required submission materials include a valid Georgia commercial contractor's license, proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance, a detailed fee proposal with cost breakdown, a list of similar completed projects with references, and a proposed project schedule.

The RFQ demonstrates a local preference for contractors located in Screven County, with the total project cost estimated between $300,000 and $550,000. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive technical irregularities. The selected contractor may be considered for additional City renovation projects throughout 2026, suggesting potential for future work beyond the initial contract. All required work must include Georgia-engineered stamped drawings, and contractors will be responsible for providing necessary site facilities such as dumpsters and portable facilities during the project duration. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the RFQ indicates a comprehensive approach to municipal infrastructure improvement, focusing on modernizing community and emergency service facilities through strategic renovations and additions.
