The Butts County Board of Commissioners is currently on the lookout for professionals in the timber game, putting a call out for sealed proposals from those in the know about felling trees and hauling off the goods. This timber-harvesting gig isn't just a few branches; it's a decent chunk of land—17 acres more or less—sitting over on Recreation Boulevard in the heart of Jackson, Georgia. You're not going to want to scribble your bid on a napkin; they want these bids typed up or inked in properly, sealed tight in an envelope that's got your Bid# and Company Name clear on the outside, as detailed on the official Butts County website here.
If you're looking to throw your hat in the ring, better not dilly-dally, the Butts County Administration Office – Purchasing Department – Suite 4, located at 625 West Third Street in Jackson, is where you'll need to drop off that precious bid of yours, but only until 3:00 p.m. local time come February 27, 2026, any latecomers will just have to deal with the sting of rejection, their bids returned with the seal unbroken. They'll be ripping those envelopes open pronto, reading the bids aloud at 3:00 P.M on the same day, make a spectacle of the whole affair.
For those with an interest in scoping out the lay of the land before they bid, there's a non-mandatory meet-and-greet with the trees on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 9:30 am. Alright, you might have queries or musings about the whole venture, and if that's the case, JoAnna Phillips, Procurement Coordinator, is the person you're gonna wanna shoot an email to at [email protected], but keep an eye on the clock—February 20, 2026, 2:00 p.m. is when the window for questions slams shut.
If there's a wrinkle or a special request you're itching to make regarding the proposal, best speak up during the question period, cause if it's something that needs broadcasting to everyone, they'll slap that info into an addendum up on the Butts County website, they've promised to have the first one up by 4:00 p.m. February 23, 2025, keep in mind, more addenda might come down the pipeline, and it's on you to keep abreast of these updates, Butts County isn't going to baby you through it—you've got to acknowledge these updates on your bid form.
