Additionally, the work includes cleaning and repainting bridge beams, installing rip-rap as directed, cleaning and resealing deck joints, realigning bearings, and repairing anchor bolts. All work must comply with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Standard Specifications (2001 edition), state environmental regulations including the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act, and NPDES permit requirements. The project requires adherence to a strict schedule with work beginning within 30 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed and completing all tasks within 180 calendar days. Liquidated damages of $200 per day apply for delays beyond this period excluding those caused by inclement weather.

The solicitation does not use federal acquisition regulations, instead operating under Georgia state law and GDOT standards. Contract administration involves monthly invoicing with payments processed by Gordon County, although no electronic invoicing system is specified. Special contract provisions require subcontractor approval by both Gordon County and GDOT, pre-construction meetings, coordination with utility locating services prior to excavation, and strict compliance with environmental and drug-free workplace laws. No socioeconomic certification or small business status is collected, and no MIL-STD or federal clause references appear, reflecting the local government and civil infrastructure nature of the project. All proposals must be physically delivered to the county purchasing office with original signatures; electronic submissions are not accepted.
