SB021-26 lawrenceville gateway trail trailhead

The City of Lawrenceville, located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the construction of the Lawrenceville Gateway Trail Trailhead (Project SB021-26). This comprehensive site development project involves construction and installation of infrastructure components on Collins Industrial Way near Georgia Gwinnett College, including a 23-space parking lot with ADA-compliant spaces, a brick-paved plaza with monument sign, seat walls, bicycle racks, a 10-foot-wide connecting trail, handicap-accessible ramps, concrete sidewalks, and associated site work encompassing stormwater management, erosion control, and electrical infrastructure. The scope of work includes demolition, earthwork, storm drain infrastructure, asphalt and concrete paving, masonry, landscaping, hardscaping, electrical systems, and site furnishings across a total disturbed area of 1.2 acres. The electrical infrastructure requires establishment of 240/120V, 1-phase, 100-amp service entrance panelboard, parking lot and plaza LED lighting, pad-mounted transformer installation, underground conduit systems, and complete grounding grid installation in compliance with the National Electrical Code and local building codes. Sealed bids must be received by the Lawrenceville Purchasing Office, 70 South Clayton Street, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30046 by 10:00 A.M. local time on Thursday, March 26, 2026, with public opening and reading to follow immediately thereafter. Bidders may submit questions to Kenneth Morris, Purchasing Director, via email at purchasing@lawrencevillega.org no later than 3:00 p.m. local time on March 19, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for March 16, 2026. Contractors must acknowledge Addendum #2 (issued March 19, 2026) and Addendum #1 (issued March 6, 2026) containing revised site plans and clarifications in their bids, and project completion is required within 120 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed with liquidated damages of $500 per day assessed for delays beyond contract time.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) requirements. Bidders must demonstrate at least three comparable projects of $500,000 or greater within the past five years and possess appropriate state licensing for their work. A five percent (5%) bid bond must accompany all proposals, with the successful bidder required to provide one hundred percent (100%) performance and payment bonds from surety companies rated A-5 or higher by AM Best. Contractors must also maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, general liability, auto liability, and umbrella coverage as specified in the project manual. No specific budget range or total project award value is identified in the available documents; however, the scope of work and bidding form containing 53 line items with unit prices and quantities suggests a substantial construction project. The contractor will assume responsibility for all permits, licenses, utility coordination with Jackson EMC for electrical service and Gwinnett County for water resources verification, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, Georgia Water Quality Control Act requirements, and NPDES permit requirements, with a one-year warranty period following final acceptance.
