2571-B: FCWS ¿ Trilith Tank Booster Pump Station

Fayette County, Georgia is soliciting bids for a comprehensive water infrastructure project known as the Trilith Tank Booster Pump Station (Invitation to Bid #2571-B), located at the Trilith Studios property. The project involves constructing a new booster pump station with two 40 horsepower booster pumps, associated water infrastructure, electrical systems, instrumentation, and site improvements across approximately 0.63 acres. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals that include yard piping, site work, booster pump station construction, and electrical infrastructure, with specific requirements for integrating with the Fayette County Water System's SCADA system. The bid is due on June 5, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with a total project timeline of 335 calendar days for substantial completion and 365 calendar days for final completion. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds, detailed qualifications statements, and comply with local and state regulations, including storm water pollution prevention and earthmoving permits. Liquidated damages are specified at $250 per day for substantial completion delays and $500 per day for final completion delays.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project includes two allowance items: $5,000 for materials testing and $20,000 for owner-directed changes. Contractors will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits and coordinating utility services with Coweta-Fayette EMC, with electrical service requirements including a 480V power system and remote telemetry capabilities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving pre-fabricated pump station building, piping, grading, erosion control, and utility connections—suggests a significant capital investment. The project design incorporates future expansion considerations, including spare capacity in electrical panels and potential equipment modifications. Interested bidders should contact Colette Cobb at ccobb@fayettecountyga.gov for additional information, with all technical specifications and detailed drawings available in the attached project documents prepared by ARCADIS.
