TIA Shiloh Road Resurfacing & Bridge Replacement

Lowndes County, Georgia is soliciting bids for the TIA Shiloh Road Resurfacing & Bridge Replacement project (Bid #TIA-06), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative involving road resurfacing and bridge replacement. The project requires DOT-approved contractors to complete road widening, drainage improvements, and bridge reconstruction within a 550-calendar day contract period. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 17, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. in the Engineering Conference Room, with sealed proposals due by July 31, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and comply with Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. The project involves detailed unit cost schedules covering multiple construction elements including traffic control, erosion control, grading, asphalt paving, drainage infrastructure, and signage. Evaluation criteria include contractor qualifications, adherence to technical specifications, and compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but contractors must meet standard DOT approval requirements and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, and business auto policies. The contract is structured as a unit price contract with monthly payments and 5% retainage held throughout the project duration. Contractors must provide a drug-free workplace and comply with Georgia's Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project's extensive scope suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The contract includes provisions for one-year work warranty and potential state transportation funding participation. Bid documents can be obtained by contacting Amy Woods via email or reviewing materials at the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners office, with project details also published in the Valdosta Daily Times on June 26th and July 10th.
