Division 1 General Information

Section 2: Overview

2.1 Project Background

Bartow County Water Department (BCWD) is seeking the services of qualified Georgia professional engineering firms for On-Demand Engineering Services to continue supporting the implementation of the ongoing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and future master plan updates. The CIP includes a listing of the major projects, estimated planning level cost, brief project description, and predecessor and successor projects. The actual work awarded under this contract will be based on follow-up studies and recommendations, available funding and direction by BCWD and may also include projects not specifically listed in the CIP.

Additionally, water and sewer master plans have been completed and as part of this proposal are expected to be updated on a typical 5–10-year planning cycle.

BCWD currently serves as the water and sewer utility for unincorporated Bartow County and provides water connections to the Cities of Emerson, Kingston, and White. The service area represents a population of approximately 65,000 residents and includes over 27,000 active customer accounts. Water is supplied by metered connections from the Cities of Cartersville and Adairsville, as well as Polk, Cobb and Cherokee Counties. BCWD runs a small water reclamation facility currently operating at approximately 50,000 gpd, with a permitted capacity of 0.1 MGD.

Major facilities include one water production spring, 15 ground and elevated storage tanks and booster pump systems, and over 900 miles of water distribution and 250 miles of wastewater collection pipelines.

2.2 Standard Agreement

It is BCWD’s intention to award a Master Services Contract to one or multiple firms to support the needs of BCWD. Work would be assigned through Task Orders based on the Firm’s expertise, cost effectiveness and availability to complete the work responsively. Subsequent work assignments will be based on BCWD project needs, productivity, and quality of prior work completed and may result in a less than an equal distribution of work. All Task Orders will be issued on “As Needed, When Needed” basis. The term of this contract will be five (5) years.

July 2026

Division 1

Prior to issuing a Task Order, The Firm will meet with BCWD staff to discuss and review the project requirements. The Firm shall evaluate the project requirements to include site visits and other activities necessary to properly assess the work and will then prepare a detailed written scope of work including all costs, broken down by tasks and levels of effort. Upon review and concurrence with the scope of work and costs, as well as the necessary authorization, BCWD will issue a notice to proceed for the Task Order to The Firm for the work.

For certain projects it is anticipated that BCWD may request a scope of work and cost estimate from all firms to determine the best solution for BCWD. Where BCWD determines that current firm(s) have not provided expertise or costs that are acceptable to BCWD, BCWD reserves the right to procure services from others.

BCWD expects the Firm to have sufficient depth and breadth in all discipline areas to support BCWD’s needs. Where a specific project arises that requires a subcontractor with specific expertise, those subcontractors can be added to the Firm’s project team. Above and beyond our On-Demand Engineering Firms, teaming and subcontractor relationships are permitted, however teams without a record of successful project delivery working together will not be considered as highly. Where “Prime/Subcontractor” relationships are proposed, the prime contractor will be required to provide majority of the work. All teaming relationships must be clearly identified and defined.
