The Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority is issuing a competitive sealed-bid procurement for construction of water and sanitary sewer relocation work along Bells Ferry Road at the Little River Bridge in Canton, Georgia. The project deliverables include 4,700 linear feet of 16-inch DIP water main, 940 linear feet of 16-inch steel water main to be hung on the bridge, 1,180 linear feet of 12-inch HDPE sanitary sewer force main, 1,040 linear feet of 16-inch HDPE casing for 12-inch force main to be hung on the bridge, 266 linear feet of 24-inch steel casing for open cut installation, and 40 linear feet of 24-inch steel casing for jack and bore installation. Sealed bids must be submitted to the Authority Board Room at 110 Railroad Street, Canton, Georgia by Friday, July 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time. Bid documents are available for a non-refundable fee of $400.00 from AtkinsRealis USA; questions regarding the procurement must be submitted by Thursday, July 3, 2025, by 12:00 Noon. Contractors and any subcontractors performing more than 20 percent of the work must meet minimum qualifications outlined in the contract documents and submit completed Contractor Qualification Statements and Questionnaires with their bids, with the apparent low bidder subject to evaluation on qualifications and potential disqualification for failure to meet minimum requirements. The project has a maximum completion timeline of 790 consecutive calendar days, with phased substantial completion requirements: Phases 1 and 2 within 160 calendar days, Phases 3 and 4 within 40 calendar days following bridge fill installation, and Phase 5 within 100 calendar days after I-beam and pipe hanger assembly installation and before bridge decking.

Bidders must submit a bid bond or cashier's/certified check equal to not less than five percent of the total bid amount made payable to the Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority, and the successful bidder will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds meeting contract requirements. Only contractors on record with the Engineer of Record as having received bid documents will be considered for award. The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or other protected classes. No specific budget or award value range is disclosed in the advertisement; however, the bid bond requirement of five percent provides an indication of anticipated project scale. The selected contractor must coordinate closely with the GDOT bridge contractor, as work phases are sequenced relative to bridge construction activities including fill installation, I-beam and pipe hanger assembly, and bridge decking.
