Terrell county school system request for sealed competitive proposals for construction of: flooring

Terrell County School System is seeking sealed competitive proposals for a flooring replacement project at Terrell County Middle/High School located in Dawson, Georgia. The procurement is structured as a competitive sealed proposal method targeting qualified construction firms to complete comprehensive flooring upgrades. Proposals are due on May 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, with six copies of the proposal and one sealed bid required. The evaluation criteria will assess firms across four key dimensions: firm history and information (10 points), relevant experience (25 points), project approach and schedule (25 points), and bid pricing (40 points). Contractors must demonstrate compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, specifically participating in the federal E-Verify program. The selection process will involve a Review Committee scoring proposals, with the potential for optional interviews before contract execution. Bid documents can be examined at Southern A & E's office in Austell, Georgia, or accessed online by requesting a password and link to their plan service.

The procurement requires contractors to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella excess liability, with the Terrell County School System named as an additional insured. A bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount is mandatory, and performance and payment bonds of 100% of the contract sum will be required before construction begins. All bonds must be written by a surety licensed in Georgia and listed on the Federal Register. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, contractors must submit several required documents, including a Competitive Sealed Proposal Form, signed Bid Form, Bid Bond, Contractor Affidavit, and immigration compliance documentation. The Owner reserves the right to waive technicalities and reject any or all proposals. Payment will be processed through monthly payment applications using specific forms. Though an exact budget range is not specified, the project involves flooring replacement for a middle and high school, suggesting a substantial capital investment in educational infrastructure improvements.
