2024 CDBG Project No. 24b-x-149-2- 6380, Sidewalk and Storm Drainage Improvements

The project involves comprehensive sidewalk and storm drainage improvements along several streets in Warrenton, Georgia, including the installation of approximately 670 square yards of concrete sidewalks, over 1,000 linear feet of curb and gutter, five driveway aprons, and roughly 1,220 linear feet of storm drain piping with structures, complemented by a 3,450 square yard asphalt overlay. The work encompasses all necessary construction activities such as grading, traffic control, erosion and sediment control, and site restoration, with the entire scope to be completed within 180 calendar days under a single awarded contract. Funding is provided through a Community Development Block Grant, with strict adherence to federal requirements including the Build America, Buy America Act, Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, and federal labor standards, alongside Georgia state licensing and E-Verify compliance. The project emphasizes local workforce opportunities and domestic sourcing of materials, requiring contractors to hold valid Georgia utility contractor licenses and to provide bonds of at least 10% of the bid amount, with performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract value. Bid submissions are to be sealed and delivered to the Warrenton Depot Welcome Center by October 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, accompanied by a bid bond and proof of licensing. The City of Warrenton reserves broad rights to reject any or all bids, including non-responsive or unqualified proposals, and emphasizes that the work must conform to the detailed plans and specifications available from Civil Design Solutions, LLC. The contract does not specify detailed evaluation criteria or a formal point system but indicates that responsiveness, responsibility, licensing, bonding, and compliance with federal and state regulations will be key factors in award decisions. The project’s timeline, scope, and funding sources highlight a federally assisted infrastructure improvement effort with a focus on local economic development and regulatory compliance, all to be executed within the specified performance period.
