2025 LRA Oliver Jones Road Resurfacing

The contract pertains to the resurfacing of Oliver Jones Road in Macon County, Georgia, a 2.23-mile-long, 21-foot-wide roadway requiring patching, leveling, and overlay with hot mix asphalt, along with pavement markings and shoulder construction with grassing. The project, estimated to cost between 500,000 and 1.5 million dollars, involves detailed work to restore and improve the existing pavement surface, with project plans prepared by Construction Materials Services, Inc. Bidders are invited to submit sealed proposals by December 4, 2025, with the requirement that bids be accompanied by a 5% bid bond, and that the successful bidder provide performance and payment bonds within 15 days of award notification. The process emphasizes strict adherence to bonding, insurance, and licensing standards, including the necessity for surety companies to have an AM Best rating of A-6 or higher and to be registered with federal and Georgia state authorities. The procurement process is structured as a traditional sealed bid, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive technicalities. Bids must be clearly marked and submitted in hard copy to the designated address, with no mention of electronic or digital submission options. The contract emphasizes the importance of bid security, and the documents specify that the owner retains broad rights to reject proposals, ensuring competitive integrity. While detailed evaluation criteria or award procedures are not explicitly outlined, the process appears to rely on responsiveness, responsibility, and compliance with submission requirements. The project scope, administrative contacts, and bonding standards are clearly defined, but there are no references to specific FAR clauses, detailed technical standards beyond the scope description, or supplemental attachments. The contract emphasizes compliance with Georgia law, particularly regarding bid withdrawal and submission procedures, and provides contact information for the owner and engineer to facilitate communication throughout the procurement process.
