The City of Cartersville Gas System is procuring construction services for a natural gas main extension project comprising two phases (Phase V and Phase VI) in the Zion Road Development Area serving Toyo Tire North America and surrounding commercial development. The project involves the installation of approximately 6,160 linear feet of 8-5/8" steel line pipe with FBE coating, 2,175 linear feet of bore pipe in various sizes (8-5/8" and 6-5/8" O.D.), and 1,300 linear feet of polyethylene pipe, along with associated fittings, valves, service tees, and appurtenances. Phase V extends from IDI Northwest 75 to Pettit Creek, while Phase VI extends from Beauflor USA to IDI Northwest 75. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the City of Cartersville Gas System offices at 155 Old Mill Road, Cartersville, Georgia 30120 by Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time. The successful bidder must complete all work within a maximum of 90 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $200.00 per day assessed for delays beyond the completion deadline. Bidders must meet specific qualifications including current Georgia utility contractor licensure, employment of a full-time certified utility manager or equivalent personnel, subscription to the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia's Subscribed Regulatory Compliance Service, compliance with federal pipeline safety regulations (49 CFR Parts 192 and 199), API Standard 1104 welding compliance, and adherence to Georgia compliance laws regarding lawful presence verification and work authorization.

No set-aside designations or restrictions specifically targeting disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other protected classifications are identified in the procurement documents. All interested contractors must submit a bid bond or certified check equal to five percent of the bid price, and the selected contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price. The City of Cartersville retains the right to reject any or all bids and waive formalities.
