The project involves constructing a pre-engineered fabric membrane covered salt building approximately 4,800 square feet in size, located at 1030 (A) Post Way Road in Jonesboro. The building will feature three separate storage bays for rock (175 tons), salt (130 tons), and sand (175 tons), with a ten-foot tall concrete wall and foundation. Proponents must demonstrate at least five years of experience in salt or sand supply and storage structures, with all Architect-Engineer services performed by licensed Georgia professionals. Minimum qualifications include completing at least three similar structures by 2022, and proposers must provide comprehensive design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning services. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit was scheduled for October 26, 2023, with the project requiring substantial completion within 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The contract includes a 25% Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) subcontracting goal and will be funded through Clayton County's Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) program. Proponents must submit detailed financial disclosures, insurance documentation, and comply with local, state, and federal regulations, including the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act. The county will retain 10% of each payment as retainage, with potential reduction upon meeting specific project milestones.
