About this opportunity

The Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) in Georgia is seeking proposals from firms to perform all tasks related to the development of an initial water service line inventory, in accordance with the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revision. The key objectives are to minimize the number of unknown service line materials through a combination of predictive modeling and field inspections, and to provide a concurrence plan to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD). The scope of services includes developing the concurrence plan, performing the service line inventory, conducting field inspections, and providing annotated photos and a photo index. Qualified firms must demonstrate experience in similar projects, a sound organizational approach, financial stability, and the ability to meet the compliance deadline of October 16, 2024. Proposals are due on February 20, 2024, and will be evaluated based on criteria such as qualifications, scope of services, schedule, and cost.

This procurement is not designated for any set-aside categories, and there is no information provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFP does not specify a budget range, but the project is part of AUD's efforts to comply with the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revision, which requires all water providers to develop a publicly available service line inventory.

Opportunity text

Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) operates the public water supply in Augusta, GA. AUD conveys finished water to its customers via a water supply of over 1,200 miles of piping, with portions dating back to the 1800s. In 2021, the EPA issued significant revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule, called the Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR). Included in this revision is the requirement that water providers must develop a publicly available service line inventory to identify the materials of each service line, on both the water provider-owned and customer-owned side. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) is the state primacy agency for EPA in Georgia and will be responsible for receiving and verifying compliance with the LCRR. In April 2023, GA EPD issued a guidance manual on the development of service line inventories. AUD provides drinking water to approximately 75,000 service connections. AUD owns the water service line between the water distribution main and the water meter or property line boundary. The customer owns the water service line from the property line/water line into the premise. AUD is currently working on reviewing historical records to identify the materials of these service lines; however, it is anticipated that a large portion of service line materials will still be unknown after this effort. AUD is seeking support to employ field verification and predictive modeling to minimize the number of unknown materials in the service line inventory.
