The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide cleaning, pumping, removal, and disposal services for partially and fully clogged storm structures and pipes, as well as maintenance and inspection services for proprietary water quality devices including Stormceptors and Crystal Streams on a task order basis, all in compliance with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. Required qualifications and deliverables include the ability to perform emergency and routine response services, maintain Workers' Compensation insurance of $500,000 per accident per employee, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Comprehensive Auto Liability of $1,000,000 bodily injury and $100,000 property damage per occurrence, and Excess Umbrella Liability of $1,000,000, along with E-Verify registration and compliance with Title VI Civil Rights Act provisions and Georgia Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act requirements. Work hours are restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with Saturday work allowed only with 72-hour advance notice between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and Sunday work is prohibited. Evaluation criteria allocate points as follows: Firm Experience and Available Resources (30 points), Cost Proposal (27 points), Average Response Time (30 points), References (10 points), and Local Vendor Preference (3 points), for a total of 100 points. Proposal submissions must include a cover letter, firm experience and resources documentation, references, estimated response times for routine and emergency task orders, a separately submitted cost proposal in Excel format identifying hourly rates for storm pipe cleaning and travel time services, per-occurrence dumping fees, daily traffic control rates, and any minimum service charges, completed IRS Form W-9, Bidder's Disclosures and Certifications, a notarized E-Verify affidavit, and a questionnaire.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, small businesses, or other restricted entity categories. Contractors must perform at least 30 percent of the work with their own organization and are prohibited from subcontracting without prior written City consent. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the available procurement documents, though the City has indicated that it currently maintains and continues to install proprietary water quality devices requiring annual inspections and pumping maintenance. The contract award will be made to a single vendor for an initial one-year term from the notice to proceed date, with options for the City to extend the contract with written contractor consent for up to four additional one-year terms at the City's sole discretion. The RFP does not provide explicit budget ranges or estimated contract values; however, pricing will be evaluated based on hourly rates, per-occurrence fees, and daily rates submitted by contractors.
