City Wide- Ditch Cleaning

The City of Bloomingdale in Chatham County, Georgia, is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive citywide ditch cleaning services as part of its drainage system maintenance program. The procurement involves detailed drainage infrastructure maintenance, specifically requiring contractors to clean out and grade ditches, clean all pipes, and clean all manholes across three designated areas of concern. The targeted areas include West Main Street near Hickory Street (Area 1), Ash Street near Oak Street, Boulevard Street, and the CSX Railroad area near Ottawa Farms (Area 2), and all trouble spots identified on the Fire Department's map (Area 3). Sealed proposals must be submitted to City Administrator Charles D. Akridge by noon on August 27, 2025, with contractor selection anticipated by August 29, 2025. Interested contractors are expected to thoroughly review the Phase 4 Drainage Report and accompanying Fire Department map to understand the comprehensive scope of work and specific area requirements.

The RFP does not explicitly outline set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific vendor restrictions. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement documents also do not specify a precise budget range or award value for the ditch cleaning project. While the RFP provides detailed geographical and technical specifications for the drainage system maintenance, it lacks explicit information about pricing terms, funding sources, or potential contract renewal options. The project appears to be labeled with an operational code "T.S. Debby OPS 08/2024", which might indicate a potential operational timeline, though this is not definitively clarified in the available materials. Contractors interested in responding to this RFP should carefully review all attached documentation, including the Phase 4 Drainage Report and Fire Department map, to fully understand the project's technical requirements and scope.
