Downtown Cedartown Corridor Enhancement

The project involves constructing and enhancing multiple parking lots, alleys, pedestrian pathways, streetscape features, and landscaping within downtown Cedartown, Georgia. The work is divided into two contracts: a federally funded Phase 1, which includes three parking lots and is subject to Davis-Bacon wage standards, and a municipally funded Stubbs/Herbert Lot. Bidders are invited to submit sealed bids by September 22, 2025, with bid bonds of at least 5% of the bid amount, and successful contractors will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract value. The scope encompasses pavement milling, grading, curb and gutter installation, sidewalks, brick paving, masonry enclosures, drainage, erosion control, and landscaping, with approximate quantities specified for each lot. The project emphasizes compliance with federal and local standards, with specific attention to Davis-Bacon wage requirements for federally funded portions and reporting obligations for ARC-funded work. Bid submissions must be made on the prescribed bid forms, sealed in an opaque envelope, and delivered to the City of Cedartown’s City Hall by the deadline, with the bid irrevocable for 60 days. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and re-solicit if necessary. The procurement process includes a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 29, 2025, and a question deadline of September 8, 2025. Supporting documents such as specifications, construction drawings, and bid forms are available electronically and in print, with the project overseen by the City Manager, Edward Guzman, and the design professional Brad Jones. The contract emphasizes adherence to bonding, labor standards, and reporting requirements, but does not specify detailed delivery schedules, pricing schedules, or inspection and acceptance procedures within the available documentation.
