Request for qualifications: Construction Services for the PAACT Early Childhood Repair and Renovation Grant Program

Deadline extended! Due Date: By August 31, 2023 at midnight!

Opportunity Alert! The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta is seeking qualified, experienced contractors interested in participating in the PAACT Early Childhood Repair and Renovation Grant Program, a transformative initiative to enhance learning environments for Atlanta’s youngest children. Through this effort, which is funded through a donation from the City of Atlanta, approximately 50 early learning providers across the city will have the opportunity to conduct much needed renovations and repairs (up to $75,000) to enhance learning and playspace in their buildings. Providers will select the contractors or construction companies to work on their project from a pre-qualified pool. While selection into the pool does not guarantee that a contractor will be engaged for a project, it is a critical first step!

– General Liability insurance of not less than $500,000 and Workers´Compensation insurance as required by the State of Georgia
