1. INTRODUCTION

City of Garden City (City) is requesting proposals from qualified contractors interested in providing water service line potholing and inventory documentation services in conjunction with implementation of Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCCR) Compliance related to Lead Service Line Inventory and Replacement Program in accordance with the revised United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Lead and Copper Rule.

All contractors submitting proposals must have demonstrated relevant experience and expertise for projects similar in nature to this project.

To be considered, responses to this Request for Proposals (RFP) must be received by 2:00 p.m.

local time on March 14, 2024. Refer to Section 5 – Submittal Requirements for additional details.

2. OBJECTIVES

The objective of this project is to conduct an inventory of water services lines as part of the City’s compliance with the LCRR by developing a LCRR Compliance Program. The work required for this project includes the following:

1. The contractor will be responsible for potholing (excavating) water service lines on the City-side and Customer-side of water meters and field verification of service line materials. The contractor shall be responsible for restoration of the property immediately after the service line materials are identified. Where service lines are located beneath paved surfaces, the contractor will be responsible for cutting and restoring pavements of various types. Pavement cutting and restoration costs will be in addition to potholing in unpaved areas.

2. Documentation of water service line materials identified by meter number and street address shall be obtained on the City-side and Customer-side of water meters. Where lead-containing connecting pieces are encountered, they should be documented in addition to the service line materials. Data obtained shall be provided in written and electronic format (Excel Spreadsheet and GIS database), including photographs of the service lines. Data obtained by field verification will be provided to the City and used for Development of a Service Line Material (SLM) Inventory.

3. The City will provide maps and addresses for all locations where service line potholing and inventory is required.

4. Field Inventory work is required to be completed by September 15, 2024.

5. The attached Unit Price Bid Form to provide pricing for the work is required to be submitted by the contractor. Pricing for service line inventory (City-side and Customer-side), will be on a per-meter location basis. Extra work such as pavement cutting will be based on a square foot basis.

3. BACKGROUND

In the City’s service area, potable water is produced and supplied by City of Garden City Water System from groundwater sources. Garden City conducts lead and copper compliance sampling in accordance with all State and Federal requirements. The City’s service area consists of approximately 2,651 residential and 648 commercial customers served through approximately 3,299 meters. The City’s distribution system consists of approximately 40 miles of water mains consisting mainly of PVC, ductile iron and cast-iron materials. The City owns service lines from the water main up to and including the water meter (City-side). The customer owner owns the water service lines from the meter to the tap (Customer-side). Water meters are typically located behind the curb in the road right-of-way. Areas of the City are known to have lead-containing service lines on the City-side and Customer-side of the service lines. Additionally, lead-containing connecting pieces such as goosenecks are known to exist on the City-side of service lines. Where lead-containing connecting pieces (i.e., goosenecks, etc.), are encountered, these connecting pieces should be documented in addition to the service line material types. Limited information is available on the customer owned portion of the service line. Lead solder on copper service lines is likely to be found in homes built before 1986.

4. SCOPE OF SERVICES

The contractor services required for this project shall be completed in general accordance with a scope of services as needed to accomplish the major tasks and sub-tasks listed below. The final scope of services will be negotiated with the selected contractor. The City will provide a GIS platform, customer database in Excel Spreadsheet format, and water system meter location map(s) for use by the contractor.

Scope of services may include (but not limited to):

1. Development of Service Line Material (SLM) Inventory:

a. On each side of the water meter (i.e., City-side and Customer-side) and no closer than3 feet from the meter box, the contractor shall conduct field service line verification to identify unknown service line materials via: excavation, hand hole, potholing, or other approved means to accomplish this task. If water service lines are damaged, the contractor shall be responsible for repair of damage to service lines.

b. Document and photograph service line material types uncovered by potholing.

c. Potholes are to be backfilled and ground surface restored to match existing conditions.

Where pavement cutting is required, pavement restoration shall match existing pavement type.

d. Contractor is to provide deliverables including GIS data, completed spreadsheet and photo documents tied to service line address.

Expected deliverables shall include (but not limited to):

1. Service Line Material (SLM) Inventory Database and Map: Fully complete database and GIS data including photo documentation ready for submission to Georgia EPD on or before September 15, 2024.
