Pre-Advertisement Notice Citywide Plumbing

The City of Atlanta is initiating a competitive solicitation for Citywide Plumbing Services, Maintenance, and Repair to support facilities across multiple municipal departments. The procurement seeks licensed and experienced plumbing professionals capable of providing comprehensive services including routine maintenance, emergency repairs, inspections, replacements, and infrastructure installation in compliance with applicable codes. Specific service requirements include installation, maintenance, and removal of piping, fixtures, appliances, boilers, and related plumbing systems for sanitary drainage, storm facilities, venting, water supply, and heating systems. Key deliverables encompass specialized services such as boiler maintenance, drain cleaning, meter replacement, water and sewer line repair, grease trap and backflow device installation, water heater replacement, camera pipe inspection, and pump repair. The contractor must respond to regular service calls within one business day and emergency calls within two hours, with pricing based on fixed hourly rates for three position categories: Master Plumber, Licensed Journeyman Plumber, and Plumbers Helper. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be held to provide additional details and address vendor questions, with the opportunity posted on November 24, 2025, and responses due by December 29, 2025.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement requires the contractor to be a state-registered Class B plumbing contractor with a licensed master plumber principal. Contractors must possess plumbing testing and drain survey capabilities per International Plumbing Codes and provide a minimum one-year unconditional warranty on all work and materials. The solicitation mandates that contractors submit at least five current references, maintain 24/7 emergency contact availability, and provide monthly performance reports for joint review with the City. Material procurement guidelines specify that local supplier materials will be charged at wholesale price with a contractor discount, and special-order materials will be priced at manufacturer's suggested wholesale rates. No truck mileage or trip charges are permitted, and transportation and overhead costs must be absorbed within hourly rates. Although a specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive scope of services suggests a significant municipal infrastructure maintenance contract with potential multi-year implications for the chosen vendor.
