Gwinnett County policy does not allow employing unauthorized aliens to perform work on County contracts involving physical performance of services. Each contractor must provide evidence on County-provided forms that it and its subcontractors have registered for and are participating in the federal work authorization program as defined by O.C.G.A. § 13-10-90(2) to verify information of all new employees.

The Purchasing Division Director, assisted by the Performance Analysis Division, is authorized to conduct random audits of contractor or subcontractor compliance with O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91 and the rules and regulations of the Georgia Department of Labor.

The link below outlines standard instructions for quotes, Invitations to Bid (ITB), and Requests for Proposals (RFP). This document is part and parcel of all solicitations. 

These are general rules. Solicitations may contain specific requirements. If you have questions, contact the Procurement Agent assigned to the solicitation.

• Instructions to Vendors

Occasionally we release written changes, called an Addendum, to a solicitation. Because these may impact your response, it's important to include all addenda with your bid/proposal. 

Gwinnett County takes reasonable steps to ensure that known prospective bidders have all applicable addenda, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you do before you submit a bid or proposal. We encourage you to contact the Procurement Agent before finalizing your submission. Contact information is in the solicitation.
