Pre-Advertisement Notice for Annual Sanitary Sewer Repairs

The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management is conducting a multi-step sealed bid procurement process to support the rehabilitation, renewal, and repair of the sanitary sewer collection system through work-order assignments covering sewer mains, manholes, service laterals, and related site restoration activities. The procurement will commence with a prequalification phase, followed by an Invitation for Bid, with a pre-solicitation conference to be scheduled and noticed separately. The selected vendor must demonstrate proper staffing levels, equipment, materials, and field experience to perform multiple sewer repair assignments across various city locations and ensure timely mobilization, coordination, and completion of work orders in accordance with approved schedules and contract documents. Deliverables include a comprehensive range of services such as bypass pumping, sewer cleaning, CCTV and sonar inspection, point repairs, open-cut pipe replacement, cured-in-place pipe installation, pipe bursting, jack and bore operations, manhole rehabilitation and replacement, service lateral replacement, chemical foam treatment, clean-out installation, erosion control, traffic control, and pavement or landscape restoration. Work will be assigned through individual work orders containing unique assignments with specific projects developed from the City's Sewer System Evaluation Survey Program, and contractors must acknowledge receipt and commence work within 14 days. The contract is structured as a unit price contract with estimated quantities that are not guaranteed minimums, and the contractor must provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and utilities coordination while bearing responsibility for utility investigation, legal property access, and protection of existing utilities and structures. The posting date was May 8, 2026, with a due date of May 29, 2026.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendor information, or budget ranges are detailed in the available procurement documents. The contract encompasses multiple work locations throughout Atlanta and potentially extends to inter-jurisdictional sewer sections outside the city boundary, requiring contractors to coordinate with third-party utilities and maintain protection of existing infrastructure. Defective materials or improper installation must be corrected at the contractor's expense within three working days of notification, or the City reserves the right to charge correction costs to the primary contractor on the following monthly payment request. No specific award values, funding amounts, or contract award dates are provided in the scope of work documentation. Prospective vendors should monitor for the pre-solicitation conference notice and the subsequent Invitation for Bid to obtain detailed pricing terms, evaluation criteria, and additional contract specifications necessary for bid preparation.
