Taylor County Elementary School Demolition

The Taylor County Board of Education is seeking sealed bids for the complete demolition of Taylor County Elementary School located in Butler, Georgia. The procurement is a public works project scheduled to receive bids until 3:00 P.M. on January 7, 2025, at the Board of Education office located at 23 Mulberry Street. The project scope encompasses comprehensive demolition services, including disconnecting and terminating existing utilities, complete structural demolition, waste material disposal, and site grade restoration. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 5% of their base bid, with the understanding that asbestos-containing materials have already been removed under a separate contract. The contract will be awarded on a lump-sum basis, with the owner reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive technical irregularities. All bidders must comply with the Georgia Vendor Manual and applicable state procurement laws.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The successful bidder will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract price, and no bid may be withdrawn for 60 days after the opening. Bid documents can be obtained at no cost in PDF format from James W. Buckley & Associates, indicating an open and accessible procurement process. While specific budget ranges were not detailed, the project involves a complete school facility demolition, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The procurement is specifically targeting contractors with demolition expertise, site restoration capabilities, and the ability to manage complex public infrastructure removal projects. The contract appears to be structured for standard commercial construction and demolition firms with appropriate licensing, insurance, and technical capabilities to execute a comprehensive school facility demolition project.
