The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, is soliciting sealed bids for the Georgia War Veterans Home Elevator Upgrades project (VSB-150-25-02) located in Milledgeville, Georgia, within Barrow County. This construction project involves the modernization of six elevators across four buildings at the facility: two hydraulic passenger service elevators per building in the Russell, Vinson, and Wood Buildings, and two traction passenger elevators in the Wheeler Building, with machine rooms and elevator pits included in the scope of work. Bidders must be qualified elevator contractors capable of managing modernization work on both hydraulic and traction elevator systems. Bids must be submitted electronically through GSFIC's e-Builder Project Management system with all required forms, bid verification documentation, and statements of qualifications completed and uploaded prior to the bid opening at 2:00 p.m. on April 30, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for April 14, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Georgia War Veterans Home Birdsong Building, 2249 Vinson Highway, Milledgeville, Georgia 31061, with attendance required; failure to attend will result in automatic disqualification. All questions regarding bidding documents, the bidding process, and e-Builder must be submitted in writing through e-Builder, and only written responses from GSFIC will be binding. The contracting officer is Mendi Boddie (mendi.boddie@gsfic.ga.gov, 404-463-5731), and bidders are restricted from communicating with any other state employees regarding this invitation from the date of issuance until the bid award is announced.

The procurement documents provided do not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or other protected classifications, though such designations may be included in the detailed bid documents available through e-Builder. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. The project will utilize GSFIC's e-Builder system for bid submission, requiring bidders to register, enter base bid amounts and any alternates in designated total cost fields, acknowledge any issued addenda, and upload all mandatory supporting documentation; once submitted, bids cannot be resubmitted, changed, or updated. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the posted information, though the scope of work involving modernization of multiple elevator systems across multiple buildings suggests a substantial construction project. Technical support for the e-Builder system is available through support@e-builder.net or 888-288-5717 for prospective bidders requiring assistance with the electronic submission process.
