Canton Creek Pedestrian Bridge and Sidewalk Improvement

The Canton Creek Pedestrian Bridge and Sidewalk Improvement project involves constructing a 160-foot prefabricated pedestrian bridge, along with associated infrastructure including concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, signing, pavement markings, and safety features such as rectangular rapid flashing beacons. The work encompasses site grading, erosion control, stream bank stabilization with riprap, driveway installation, traffic management, and utility coordination, with a goal of substantial completion within 300 days and final completion within 330 days from the start date. The project specifications reference Georgia Department of Transportation standards, AASHTO bridge design guidelines, and industry best practices to ensure safety, durability, and compliance. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids by August 7, 2025, including a bid bond of 5%, with the opportunity for the City of Canton to reject any or all bids to serve the best interests of the project. The contractual framework incorporates industry-standard EJCDC forms, including general conditions, supplementary conditions, and specific bond and agreement templates, but does not include FAR clauses. It mandates compliance with Georgia laws, including the Security and Immigration Act, requiring affidavits for E-Verify participation and citizenship status, and emphasizes responsibility and qualification of bidders and subcontractors. The contract specifies detailed procedures for project inspection, testing, and acceptance, with the owner and engineer authorized to conduct inspections at fabrication shops and on-site, ensuring materials and workmanship meet contractual standards. Payment procedures follow traditional progress and final payment processes, with no explicit mention of electronic invoicing systems, and the contract emphasizes responsibility for quality, safety, and adherence to schedules. Bidding documents, including plans, specifications, and forms, are accessible via the City’s website, with clear instructions for submission, questions, and addenda, ensuring a transparent and competitive procurement process aligned with local regulations and project requirements.
