Bidders must hold a current utility contractor license from the State of Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board and must have a valid utility manager certificate on staff — mandatory qualifications that filter eligibility.

The City will provide the steel line pipe, stopper fittings, marking paint, and marking tape. All bidders must subscribe to the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia's Subscribed Regulatory Compliance Service and maintain current operator qualification records, alcohol misuse plans, anti-drug plans, and welder qualification records in accordance with CFR Title 49, Parts 192 and 199. Compliance with Georgia lawful presence verification and federal work authorization programs (O.C.G.A. 36-84-1, O.C.G.A. 50-36-1, and O.C.G.A. 13-10-91) is required.

The successful bidder must complete all work within 45 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed; liquidated damages are $200 per day for delays beyond the completion deadline. Proposals must include a certified check or bid bond equal to 5 percent of the bid amount. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder, and the successful bidder must furnish performance and payment bonds. All permits and rights of way have been obtained by the City. Work is performed in Cartersville, Barrow County, Georgia.
