Courthouse Window Replacement

Pulaski County is soliciting proposals for the replacement of 66 historic windows at the Pulaski County Courthouse located at 141 Commerce St., Hawkinsville, Georgia, a building of significant architectural heritage. The project requires the removal and replacement of both wood and steel hung-sash units while strictly adhering to preservation standards to maintain the building’s original character, in full compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and applicable state and local regulations. Replacement windows must replicate the historic appearance while improving energy efficiency and functionality. Contractors must conduct a comprehensive site evaluation, carefully prepare and repaint exterior surfaces, and manage debris removal in accordance with environmental and safety requirements. The courthouse will remain fully operational during construction, necessitating proposals that detail methods to protect occupants, preserve interior systems, and minimize disruption. Performance must be completed within six to eight months after contract execution, with all work performed on-site at the specified location. Proposals must include detailed methodologies, comprehensive cost breakdowns covering materials and labor, at least three references from prior historic preservation projects, warranty terms, and proof of valid licenses and insurance coverage. The solicitation, numbered PE-71600-NONST-2026-000000002 and issued under NAICS code 238150, opened on May 20, 2026, with proposals due by June 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern, and may be submitted physically to the Pulaski County Commission at 45 S. Lumpkin St., Hawkinsville, GA, or via email to jmashburn@pulaskico.com. Questions should be directed to Laurie Obert-Thorn at laurie@pulaskico.com or (478) 783-4154. Evaluation will prioritize contractor experience with historic window projects, adherence to preservation guidelines, project execution plan, cost competitiveness, past performance, and post-installation support, though no specific weights are provided. The county reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will not reimburse proposers for submission costs. Proposals from debarred or ineligible entities will not be considered. Georgia state policy actively encourages participation by small, female-owned, and minority-owned businesses, and contractors using qualified minority subcontractors may qualify for state income tax credits under O.C.G.A. Section 48-7-38. The successful awardee will be notified on or
