N. Bogan Road at Thompson Mill Road Natural Gas Relocation

This state and local contract opportunity involves a natural gas relocation project for Gwinnett County and the City of Brooklet in Georgia, specifically addressing infrastructure improvements at the N. Bogan Road and Thompson Mill Road intersection. The procurement is structured in two distinct phases, with Phase 1 requiring the installation of approximately 450 linear feet of 8-inch high pressure steel gas main, 900 linear feet of 6-inch polyethylene gas main, and 1,700 linear feet of 4-inch polyethylene gas main. Phase 2 involves installing an additional 1,000 linear feet of 6-inch polyethylene gas main, including trenched and untrenched installations, line valves, connections, and related appurtenances. Bidders must hold a Georgia State Utility Contractor's License and be current subscribers to the Subscribed Regulatory Compliance Service Operations Qualification Program. The bid documents are available through Quest CDN (project number 9495648) for a $50 fee, with bids due on February 20, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time at Buford City Hall, where a public bid opening will immediately follow. The project is being undertaken to replace existing facilities that conflict with the Gwinnett County Department of Transportation's North Bogan Road at Thomson Mill Road Intersection Improvement project (M-1059-01).

The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Federal, state, and local permits, easements, and rights of way have not yet been obtained, which may impact potential bidders. The contract will be awarded based on the base bid alone, suggesting a competitive bidding process focused on cost-effectiveness. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the project represents a critical infrastructure upgrade that will require careful coordination with existing utility systems. The specific budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation, but the comprehensive nature of the gas main relocation and installation suggests a significant capital investment. Prospective bidders should carefully review the detailed specifications and be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in utility infrastructure projects, with a particular focus on natural gas main installation and related civil engineering capabilities.
