On-Call Pipe Lining Services

The City of Alpharetta is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP 26-115) for On-Call Pipe Lining Services to support trenchless stormwater systems rehabilitation. The procurement is jurisdictionally located in Fulton County, Georgia, and anticipates awarding contracts to up to two contractors—one specializing in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining and one in spincast pipe lining—for an initial contract term of one year with four optional one-year renewals. Offerors must submit a single proposal indicating whether they propose to provide CIPP services, spincast services, or both capabilities. The scope of work encompasses lining storm drainage pipes ranging from 12 to 120 inches in diameter, including TV inspection, cleaning, traffic control, structure rehabilitation, erosion control, landscaping, and road restoration. The City has identified over 500 pipes currently requiring repair, with additional pipes added annually based on inspection results. Work will be assigned through task orders typically containing 5 to 20 pipes, with contractors required to commence work within ten calendar days of receiving a Notice to Proceed. Proposals must be submitted by May 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM via the Bonfire online platform, with all communication directed to Procurement Agent Debora Westbrook through the Bonfire Q&A portal. Evaluation criteria include firm and team experience (25 points), example projects and references (25 points), method of providing services (27 points), cost proposal and rate sheets (20 points), and local vendor preference (3 points). CIPP installations must comply with ASTM D5813, F1216, and F1743 standards, while spincast installations must adhere to ACI and ASTM standards as specified in the RFP appendices. Contractors must provide detailed rate sheets listing unit costs for all work items, including mobilization, labor, equipment, materials, and pre- and post-CCTV inspection services, with lump-sum pricing for project-specific items determined on a case-by-case basis.

The City of Alpharetta's Local Vendor Preference (LVP) policy applies to this procurement, offering a three-percent preference to eligible local vendors—defined as entities maintaining a permanent place of business with full-time employees within City limits for a minimum of six months prior to solicitation issuance, holding a valid City business license, and having no delinquent taxes or fees owed to the City. There are no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises specified in the procurement documents. For task orders estimated at $100,000 or more, contractors must furnish payment and performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract value and accept 5 percent retainage withholding. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 combined general liability, $1,000,000 commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation as required by Georgia law with $1,000,000 employers' liability limits, and $2,000,000 commercial umbrella liability, with the City named as additional insured. All contractors must register with and participate in the E-Verify federal work authorization program and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and applicable state and local laws. No minimum work guarantee is provided under these on-call contracts, as work assignments depend on the City's annual capital budget allocation and prioritization of citywide needs. The procurement does not identify any incumbent vendors, existing contractors, or technology integration requirements in the available documentation, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials.
