Fayette County, Georgia has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) 2558-P for Elevated Water Storage Tank Maintenance for its Fayette County Water System (FCWS). The county seeks a contractor to provide annual maintenance for five potable water storage tanks over a five-year period, including four Hydropillar tanks located in Peachtree City, Crabapple, Ellis Road, and Highway 92. The maintenance program encompasses inspection, rehabilitation, as-needed repairs, recoating, washout services, and preventive maintenance. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for April 8, 2025, and proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on April 23, 2025, with an initial contract term from contract award through June 30, 2026, and potential for four additional one-year renewals.

The contract will be awarded based on a comprehensive evaluation method, with 70% of the score determined by technical merit (understanding and approach, qualifications, company background, and proposed maintenance schedule) and 30% based on pricing. Offerors must meet specific minimum qualifications, including holding a State of Georgia Utility Contractor's license, having employees with National Association of Corrosion Engineers certification, and currently maintaining at least three water utility systems. The pricing structure requires annual pricing for each tank, with prices to include all associated costs such as labor, materials, equipment, overhead, profit, and travel. The county reserves the right to negotiate change orders and may select one or more presentations from bidders, with the potential to add up to 20 additional points to the technical score for compelling in-person presentations.
