26-028 Demolition & Installation of Sidewalks & Handicap Ramps

Floyd County, Georgia is soliciting sealed bids for the demolition and installation of approximately 4,600 linear feet of sidewalks and 10 ADA-compliant handicap ramps along 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets, Terrace Avenue, and Central Avenue in Lindale, Georgia. The project requires removal of existing infrastructure, site preparation, erosion control, safety barrier installation, debris removal, and precise field measurements to ensure compliance with Georgia DOT Drawing A3 and ADA standards using 3000 PSI fiber-reinforced concrete. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond and a 100% payment and performance bond within ten days of award, along with proof of general liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence and garage liability coverage if applicable. All materials must be new, first-quality, and of the latest design, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and licenses. The contract is subject to annual termination on December 31 unless renewed and includes a condition that it terminates immediately if no unobligated funds are available. Contractors must comply with Georgia’s E-Verify requirements, submitting affidavits for themselves and all subcontractors, regardless of tier, and must also provide a Drug-Free Workplace Certificate and IRS Form W-9. The solicitation requires submission of multiple certifications including non-discrimination, non-collusion, and S.A.V.E. compliance depending on employee count, all to be uploaded through the Bonfire portal by the strict deadline of August 26, 2026. Work must begin promptly after issuance of a Notice to Proceed, and all performance occurs within county right-of-way with final acceptance determined by on-site inspection in Lindale. The county retains authority over contract modifications, which must be in writing and approved by its Contracts Administrator, and prohibits assignment without prior written consent. The contract provides for indemnification by the contractor against all claims arising from performance and mandates litigation to occur exclusively in Floyd County courts under Georgia law. No federal contracting codes, CAGE/UEI, or FAR-standard clauses apply; instead, local procurement rules and custom clauses govern, including a unique provision that all routine work necessary to complete the project is the contractor’s responsibility at no additional cost unless specifically proposed and accepted. Pricing is submitted separately via the Bonfire portal and is evaluated alongside other factors in a best-value determination, not strictly lowest price.
