This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia, for the purchase of equipment to rehabilitate the White Horse Creek Lift Station. The project requires two submersible pumps with a design point of 175 gallons per minute at 195 feet of total dynamic head, operating at 460 volts, and two soft starters (Telemecanique ATS48D62YU or approved equivalent). Installation services will be provided separately by Pro Pumps Solutions of America, LLC under a different contract. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. EST at City Hall, 5410 Pine Street, Flowery Branch, GA 30542.

Evaluation will be based on both quantitative (60 points) and qualitative (40 points) factors, with price factors including total equipment cost and suitability for the existing site, while non-price factors include pump performance, reliability, delivery lead times, maintenance requirements, warranty quality, and proposal responsiveness. Proposers are encouraged to provide partial monetary refunds or discounts if proposed lead times are exceeded, which will be highly valued in scoring. No bid bond is required if the total proposal amount does not exceed $250,000; however, if the amount exceeds $250,000, bid, performance, and payment bonds are required per Georgia law. Vendors must submit one original proposal and one electronic copy on a flash drive, along with comprehensive technical documentation including pump curves, manufacturer's catalog information, warranty details, delivery timelines, reference installations, and maintenance requirements. Insurance coverage requirements include workers' compensation, employers' liability, bodily injury liability, property damage liability, automobile liability, and excess umbrella liability with the City named as an additional insured.
