EFIS, Gutter and Downspout Repairs/Walton Co. Gov't Building

The Walton County Board of Commissioners is seeking sealed proposals for the repair and upgrade of the Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), gutters, and downspouts at the Walton County Government Building, located at 303 South Hammond Drive in Monroe, Georgia. Proposals are due by 10:00 a.m. on December 16, 2025, and must be submitted in person or via mail to the Historic Walton County Courthouse, clearly marked with Proposal #2025-11. A mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on December 4, 2025, at the project site, requiring all interested bidders to attend. The project scope includes reinforcing EIFS with high-impact mesh, repairing or replacing gutters and downspouts, restoring damaged EIFS areas, applying hydrophobic water-repellent coatings, and ensuring proper sealing and joinery work, all in accordance with specified Dryvit standards and Georgia law. Bidders must submit a proposal accompanied by a bid bond or certified cashier’s check equal to 5% of the proposal amount, along with performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the contract value. Proof of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, with Walton County named as additional insured, is required. Additionally, proposers must provide a notarized Contractor Affidavit verifying compliance with the federal E-Verify program, ensuring employment eligibility verification for all workers. The evaluation process will prioritize cost-effectiveness, contractor experience, and references, with awards made based on the best overall value rather than solely on price. The contract will incorporate Georgia-specific legal and procurement clauses, including mandatory affidavits and bonds, but does not specify a fixed contract duration or detailed performance schedule. The project emphasizes compliance with technical standards, insurance requirements, and legal statutes, ensuring a comprehensive approach to restoring the building’s exterior envelope.
