Renovation of a theater / auditorium in Swainsboro, Georgia. Completed plans call for the renovation of a theater / auditorium.

The City of Swainsboro As ("Owner"), is soliciting statements of qualifications from manufacturers interested in providing design, manufacturing and installation services on a Design-Build with a Guaranteed Maximum Price basis for a project known as "Karrh Theater Marquee" Swainsboro City Hall, 101 West Main Street, Swainsboro, GA. This Request for Proposals (RFQ) seeks to identify potential providers of the above-mentioned services. Some companys that respond to this RFQ, who are determined by the Owner to be especially qualified, may be deemed eligible and may be invited to interview, however, it is the intent of the Owner to award the contract based solely on the submitted proposals. All respondents to this RFQ are subject to instructions communicated in this document and are cautioned to completely review the entire RFQ and follow instructions carefully. Project Description The intent of this proposal is to identify a manufacturer of large marquee type signage who can further develop the Owners schematic designs (attached) and then manufacture, deliver and install a complete and functional product to be mounted on the exterior of the existing theater. The winning manufacturer will be responsible for coordinating with the Owner's structural engineer (Saussy Engineering) to facilitate design of the steel needed to support the marquee. The Owner is aware that they will likely need to provide their own sub-contractor to install the supporting steel, provide main power and possibly provide roofing and gutters to accommodate the marquee. The manufacturer will be expected to develop the owner's schematic designs and premanufacture all other required components including light framing, sheet metal, lighting, video boards, rope LEDs, lettering, painting/powder coating, etc to provide the desired complete product. The selected manufacturer should specialize in large, framed, lighted and ornate marquees and/or signage. The manufacturer will be responsible for having the marquee delivered to the site and installed through coordination with the Owner's own forces. Deadline for submission of Questions and Requests for Clarification 04/14/25 2:00 pm It is the responsibility of each respondent to examine the entire RFQ, seek clarification in writing, and review its submittal for accuracy before submitting the document. Questions about any aspect of the RFQ, or the project, shall be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferable) to: T.
