The Utility Commission of Fort Valley, a Georgia-based entity procuring services for Paulding County, issued an Invitation to Bid for the Upper Yard Paving project on December 16, 2025, with a bid due date of January 29, 2026. This procurement seeks a qualified contractor to execute paving improvements on an approximately 160-foot by 140-foot yard area through a combination of reinforced concrete paving and asphalt paving, along with all associated site preparation, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary for project completion. The scope includes two concrete pad areas—Pad Area #1 measuring 60 feet by 160 feet and Pad Area #2 measuring 60 feet by 80 feet—both requiring 6-inch thickness, minimum 3,000 PSI strength, and fiber-reinforced construction, as well as an 80-foot by 100-foot asphalt paving section requiring 6-inch thickness with proper base preparation, placement, compaction, and finishing suitable for yard and equipment use. Qualified bidders must be properly licensed to perform work in Georgia, maintain appropriate general liability and workers' compensation insurance in accordance with state and local requirements, and submit a lump sum bid price accompanied by contractor information and proof of licensing and insurance. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 21, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Utility Commission's Public Meeting Room, with bid opening occurring on January 29, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the same location. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes clearly marked "Upper Yard Paving Project Bid," and no bid bond is required for this project.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, or other restricted categories, suggesting this solicitation is open to all qualified contractors meeting the licensing and insurance requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available procurement materials. The project does not appear to require integration with existing infrastructure or technology systems beyond standard yard and equipment use specifications. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the invitation documents, indicating that the Utility Commission of Fort Valley reserves the right to evaluate bids and award the contract based on the submitted lump sum proposals and contractor qualifications. The agency further reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process as deemed appropriate.
