Monitoring Well Replacement for LAS 2025

The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement initiative for the Fitzgerald Water, Light & Bond Commission, focusing on a Groundwater Monitoring Well Replacement project located in Berrien County, Georgia. The primary objective is to construct two new groundwater monitoring wells and abandon two existing wells for the Fitzgerald Land Application System. Prospective bidders must be licensed by the State of Georgia, with license numbers required on bid envelopes. Sealed bids are due by 3:00 p.m. on January 9, 2025, at the Commission Chambers located at 103 West Central Avenue, with a 60-day bid hold period. Contractors must submit a 10% bid bond, and the winning bidder will be required to provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. Project documents can be reviewed at Fitzgerald Water, Light and Bond offices and the Dodge Plan Room in Macon, with contract documents available from Ingram & Associates Consulting Engineers for $200 per hard copy set or $100 for digital copies.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must use a Georgia-licensed surety company with an "A" minimum rating and financial strength at least five times the contract price, as listed on the Treasury Department's Circular 570 Listing. The project is funded through GEFA and/or Local Funds, suggesting potential budget constraints or specific funding requirements. The owner reserves the right to reject bids based on responsiveness, qualification, or financial ability criteria, indicating a comprehensive evaluation process. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the requirement for bonds and financial strength suggests a substantial project investment. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration details are provided in the available documentation. Interested contractors should carefully review all project specifications and ensure compliance with the stated requirements before submitting their bids.
