Fulwood Park Street & Drainage Improvements

The Fulwood Park Street & Drainage Improvements project involves comprehensive street and drainage upgrades within Fulwood Park, Georgia, requiring the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to remove existing drainage structures, install erosion control measures, new drainage infrastructure, rip rap, mill and resurface streets, and replace curbs and gutters, all within a 45-day period to reach substantial completion, with final close-out expected within 60 days. The project is to be awarded via a single contract, with bidding documents available for purchase from Watkins & Associates for $300, and a pre-bid conference scheduled for October 15, 2025. Bids are due by October 28, 2025, and must be submitted as sealed paper proposals, with the contractor’s Georgia Department of Transportation license number clearly marked on the envelope. The work is funded by the City of Tifton’s General Fund and American Rescue Plan Act funds. The contractual framework emphasizes compliance with Georgia state laws, including GDOT prequalification requirements, mandatory submission of a Bid Bond (minimum 10%), and adherence to the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act through the E-Verify program, with the submission of an affidavit of compliance. Bonds—performance and payment—must each be in the full contract amount, issued by Georgia-licensed surety companies rated at least “A” and listed on Treasury Circular 570. The owner retains broad rights to reject any bids deemed nonresponsive or unqualified, and all work must conform to the provided plans and specifications. The contract does not incorporate specific FAR clauses but relies on local, state, and project-specific requirements, including permit acquisition and compliance with applicable laws. Administrative contacts include Morgan McKay at the City of Tifton, with Watkins & Associates serving as the technical point of contact for bidding documents. The project schedule, scope, and funding sources are clearly outlined, but detailed line-item pricing and technical standards are contained within the official bidding documents, which bidders must obtain to review the full scope and costs.
