Mt Zion Middle School Addition

The Mt Zion Middle School Addition project involves constructing a six-classroom expansion at 132 Eagle Drive, Carrollton, Georgia, under the auspices of the Carroll County Board of Education. The solicitation, posted on August 22, 2025, mandates sealed proposals from qualified general contractors, with a submission deadline of September 23, 2025. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for September 4, 2025, at the project site is required for all bidders; attendance is a prerequisite for proposal submission, which must be delivered as hard copies to the designated address. The project’s estimated construction cost ranges from one million to three million dollars. Proposals must include a completed proposal form, signed bid form, a bid bond equal to 5% of the base bid (acceptable only as a bid security), and affidavits demonstrating compliance with Georgia’s immigration and lawful presence statutes, verified via the SAVE program. Additionally, performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the contract amount are required prior to commencing work, with bonds issued by licensed sureties listed on the Federal Register. The procurement process emphasizes strict bonding and compliance requirements, with the owner reserving rights to reject or waive technicalities and to reject all proposals if deemed necessary. The review committee will evaluate proposals based on criteria outlined in the instructions, though specific scoring factors and weights are not detailed in the available documentation. The contract does not reference FAR clauses or federal-specific provisions; instead, it incorporates state statutes related to immigration and lawful presence, bonding, and affidavits. No explicit technical specifications, detailed cost breakdowns, or line-item pricing are included in the accessible documents, but these are likely contained within the construction documents obtainable through Southern A & E’s online plan service. Overall, the solicitation emphasizes compliance, bonding, and procedural adherence to ensure a secure and transparent selection process for this school expansion project.
