City of Sparta LSLI

The City of Sparta, Georgia is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive water service line inventory as part of the Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCCR) Compliance program. The project involves field investigation of approximately 680 water service connections (520 private and 160 public) to identify and document service line materials through methods including visual observation, pot holing, and excavation on both city-side and customer-side of water meters. Key deliverables include a complete inventory of service line materials, documentation using a web-based inventory program, and full site restoration, including pavement cutting and repair where necessary. Sealed bids will be received at City Hall until 2:00 p.m. EST on June 24, 2025, with the field inventory to be completed by December 31, 2025. The city intends to award the contract by July 24, 2025, with a potential 60-day bid validity period. Interested contractors can obtain bid documents from Engineering Management, Inc. in Lawrenceville, with contact points provided for Jessica James (770-962-1387) and Fletcher Holliday for technical questions.

The procurement includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals of 4.0% for both minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Contractors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, liability insurance, and performance bonds. The project is partially funded through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA), which imposes additional supplemental general conditions on the contract. Contractors will be required to submit unit pricing for service line inventory on a per-meter location basis, with separate pricing for pavement cutting and repairs. While no specific total project budget is explicitly stated, the scope covers approximately 680 service connections across the City of Sparta. The procurement appears open to qualified environmental services, infrastructure investigation, and utility mapping contractors with experience in water service line inventories and compliance with EPA regulatory requirements. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to perform detailed field investigations, material identification, and comprehensive documentation of water service line infrastructure.
