Deck Porch, Stairs, and Ramp Replacement Project (CCSO Firing Range Bldg. 1 and Bldg. 2)

Chatham County is soliciting competitive bids for the replacement of the deck, porch, stairs, and ramp at the Sheriff’s Office Firing Range buildings 1 and 2 in Savannah, Georgia. The solicitation, numbered 26-0045-4, was posted on May 12, 2026, with bids due by June 17, 2026, and will result in a one-time contract award. All interactions must occur exclusively through the county’s online procurement portal, and direct contact with department personnel is prohibited. Bidders must submit a complete package including seven mandatory attachments: Drug-Free Workplace Certification, Promise of Non-Discrimination, Disclosure of Responsibility, Contractor Affidavit under Georgia Code § 13-10-91, Bidder Certification regarding Debarment, M/WBE Participation Report, and SAVE Affidavit, along with two additional required submissions, H and I, which include a Lobbying Affidavit and Good Faith Efforts documentation for minority and women-owned business enterprise participation. Compliance with Georgia state laws is mandatory, including proof of current business registration, a Chatham County tax certificate, and full payment of all property and personal taxes. Bidders must demonstrate valid state licensing, carry insurance meeting strict criteria—including A.M. Best “A” rating and five-year financial strength rating of “V” or higher—with policies providing claims-made coverage, retroactive dates aligned to contract start, and no lapses in coverage; failure to maintain insurance may result in immediate termination. The contract requires builder’s risk coverage at 100% of contract value with an occupancy clause permitting County use prior to full completion and professional liability coverage with specified limits and tail coverage disclosures. Performance must meet the highest standard of workmanship in the respective trades, conforming to applicable building codes, ASTM standards, and underwriters’ codes, with defective work corrected at no additional cost to the County. The place of performance is Chatham County, with all pricing required to be F.O.B. Savannah, GA. Evaluation is based on a trade-off methodology, prioritizing overall value rather than lowest price, with emphasis on responsiveness, responsibility, past performance, good faith efforts in M/WBE participation, and ethical conduct. No numerical weights are assigned, but automatic disqualification applies for debarment, unpaid taxes, unlicensed status, or noncompliant insurance. Awards may be made to the bidder most advantageous to the County, even if not the lowest-priced offer. Payment terms are
