The City of Baxley, Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified firms and consultants to assist and provide services related to developing an inventory and complying with the U.S. EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) for its water system by October 2024. The successful consultant will be required to conduct field investigations to develop a Service Line Inventory (SLI), create a Service Line Replacement Plan (SLRP), and implement filter pitcher, tap sampling, and educational outreach programs to meet the compliance requirements. The project timeline mandates the SLI to be completed and submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division no later than October 16, 2024, with the SLRP and other compliance components due by the date prescribed by the U.S. EPA in the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, expected in late 2023. Interested firms must submit sealed bids containing information on their company, technical approach, experience and qualifications, implementation plan, project timeline, price proposal and project budget, and references.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), including Minority and Women Owned Businesses (MBE and WBE), are encouraged to submit proposals. The City of Baxley will evaluate the proposals based on criteria such as familiarity with the community, price competitiveness, completeness of the RFP response, ability to provide the required services, and the qualifications of the staff and subcontractors. The contract value or budget range is not specified in the provided information.
