Land Clearing & Stump Removal

The contract involves land clearing and stump removal for three designated parcels located off Gus Karle Parkway in Ware County, Georgia, managed by the Waycross and Ware County Development Authority. The scope of work includes removing all trees, brush, logs, stumps, debris, and deleterious materials within the parcel boundaries, with specific attention to environmentally sensitive areas such as jurisdictional wetlands, which must be preserved and protected during operations. The project requires the contractor to visit the site beforehand to assess clearing requirements, and all vegetative materials must be disposed of through piling and burning, adhering to local permits and safety standards. The work must be completed within 120 days from the Notice to Proceed, with payments made on a per-parcel basis, covering all labor, materials, permits, supervision, and equipment costs. Bidders can obtain specifications and bid forms from the WWDA office or via email and must submit sealed proposals by 10:00 a.m. on April 30, 2025. The contract is likely to be a firm fixed-price arrangement, with the authority reserving the right to accept or reject proposals, negotiate, or award to multiple contractors based on qualifications rather than solely on price. Contractors are required to provide proof of insurance, comply with federal and state employment verification laws, and secure necessary disposal permits. The project emphasizes environmental protection, safety, and regulatory compliance, with the authority maintaining discretion over the award process and proposal evaluation, which will prioritize qualifications and experience over the lowest bid.
