The Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) is seeking competitive sealed bids for the 2025-SW-01 Tara Blvd. Storm Drain Rehabilitation project located in Jonesboro, Georgia. The project involves comprehensive storm drainage infrastructure rehabilitation, including the replacement of a failed stormwater culvert, demolition of an existing one-story commercial building, and installation of approximately 50 linear feet of 8'x8' reinforced concrete box culvert. Key deliverables include 300 linear feet of excavated stormwater open channel, concrete drainage structures, and associated erosion control measures. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on February 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the CCWA's Marie Barber Community Use Room, followed by a site visit at 1:00 p.m. at 8415 Tara Blvd. The bid submission deadline is March 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with bids to be opened via a virtual Teams meeting. The total project duration is 330 days for substantial completion and 360 days for final completion, with liquidated damages of $1,500 per day for late substantial completion and $500 per day for late final completion.

CCWA explicitly encourages participation from Small Local, Minority, and Women-Owned businesses in this procurement. The project includes cash allowances of $10,000 for field/laboratory testing, $15,000 for construction verification surveying, and a $200,000 contingency allowance. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond with their proposal and will be required to provide 100% performance and payment bonds if awarded the contract. The project is funded by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) and includes American Iron and Steel requirements. Contractors must be licensed in Georgia and have a registered state agent. A 5% retainage will be held from progress payments until substantial completion. Bid documents are available electronically through QuestCDN (Project #9521569) for a non-refundable fee of $22.00, with hardcopy packages available for $25. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure rehabilitation suggests a significant investment in addressing the storm drain infrastructure at the Tara Boulevard location.
