Curved in Place Pipe Trenchless Repairs

The City of Kingsland, Georgia, located in Candler County, is seeking proposals for Curved in Place Pipe (CIPP) Trenchless Repairs through RFP #COK25-028, focusing on rehabilitating two specific culvert pipe locations. The project involves repairing an 18-inch metal culvert on S Grove Ave near the Boone Canal (80 linear feet) and a 60-inch metal culvert on Charles Gilman Boulevard (60 linear feet). Prospective contractors must provide comprehensive trenchless repair services, including verifying pipe lengths, conducting before and after video documentation, and completing repairs and cleanup. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, with the bid opening to be held in the City Hall Council Chambers. The contract duration is set at 180 days from commencement, with potential extensions for delays beyond the contractor's control. Evaluation criteria will include price, equipment quality, specification conformity, and warranty. Contractors must maintain a minimum of $1 million in Workers' Compensation and liability insurance.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does include a local vendor preference policy allowing local vendors within 10% of the lowest bid to match and potentially be awarded the contract for purchases under $100,000. The City will provide some assistance during the project, including damming the canal at Charles Gilman and cutting or straightening bent pipe ends at Boone Street. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will be awarded to the most responsible and responsive bidder. Liquidated damages are established at $300 per calendar day for project completion delays. Interested contractors should carefully review the detailed RFP document and prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate technical capabilities, repair methodologies, and competitive pricing for the trenchless culvert pipe rehabilitation project.
