The work is located on Pigeon Creek Road in Meriwether County, approximately 600 feet southeast of the Prather Barnes Road intersection, and the project area extends about 200 feet along the roadway. Bids were posted on August 13, 2026, and must be received by 2:00 p.m. on Monday, September 14, 2026, at the Meriwether County Administration Office, 17234 Roosevelt Highway, Building B, Greenville, GA 30222.

The primary point of contact is County Administrator John Gorton, with the county also directing interested parties to request the full bid package by email or pick up copies at the administration office. The project scope calls for removal of two existing 120-inch corrugated concrete/metal pipes and replacement with a new 4-barrel, 10' x 10' concrete box culvert, along with installation of Type 3 rip-rap at the inlet and outlet and asphalt roadway restoration across a 200-foot by 20-foot work area. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a construction schedule, field-verify site elevations and horizontal measurements, and provide a comprehensive photographic record documenting key construction milestones such as stone bedding, backfill compaction, and final rip-rap placement. Bids must be sealed, clearly marked, and accompanied by a certified check, cashier’s check, or acceptable Meriwether County bid bond equal to at least 5% of the bid; the successful bidder must later furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount and provide proof of insurance within ten days of notice of award. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder judged most advantageous to the county, considering price as well as bidder reputation, financial responsibility, and prior successful completion of similar work.
