Description

The construction scope involves expanding the current ONSE office into a portion of the adjacent vacant storefront. This work includes constructing new staff workstations for the additional staff, building a new, larger conference room, expanding the current HVAC system into the new area, and installing new vents and drains on the roof to address the current roof leaks.

Per Section 2-4154 of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, the City may purchase goods or services through the use of a state contract. The contract used for this procurement is the State of Georgia contract for Indefinite Quantity Construction (Contract #99999-SPD-20200901).
