Pre-Advertisement Notice for DWM Inspection Truck Data Storage & Integration Project - OLIO & OIM

The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management is procuring an Inspection Truck Data Storage and Integration System through a multi-step sealed bid process beginning with a prequalification phase followed by an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The primary objective is to establish a comprehensive technology solution supporting field inspections and data management for the City's water and sewer infrastructure using five equipped inspection trucks with two-person crews conducting daily sanitary sewer and stormwater mainline pipe inspections. The vendor must provide Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection technology, automated condition assessments, and defect coding in compliance with National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) standards, with deliverables including real-time HD quality video feeds, unlimited cloud-based storage with a minimum ten-year retention period, quadrant-specific inspection reports with condition ratings and coded defects, indexed and georeferenced digital media files, GIS-compatible data using WGS 1984 geographic coordinates, a prioritized action plan for repair and rehabilitation, and an executive summary report highlighting systemic risks and investment priorities. Required qualifications include utilization of only NASSCO-certified technicians, AI-assisted solutions featuring Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) with Deep Learning Computer Vision Tools, maintenance of NASSCO-compliant coding accuracy with less than two percent allowable error, unlimited view mode users, live 24/7 technical support, and response to City inquiries within two business days. The system must integrate with the City's ESRI GIS Map Interface, Pearpoint Pipeline Inspection System, and WaterWorks Asset Management System, and the vendor will be evaluated during prequalification on technical capability, relevant experience, NASSCO compliance standards, and readiness to deliver services. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be noticed separately to provide additional details, with the prequalification phase deadline of February 25, 2026, and the contact person being Cornell Simas at CornellSims@AtlantaGA.Gov or 770-524-7569.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendor information, or award values and budget ranges. The City expects the selected vendor to deliver a primarily off-the-shelf system with limited configuration requirements rather than extensive custom development. The vendor must demonstrate compliance with all attached IT security policies, business continuity and disaster recovery procedures, OSHA regulations, and the City's Environmental, Health, and Safety Policies. The project supports the City's OLIO (likely referring to an operational initiative) and OIM (Operational Information Management) initiatives, with inspections targeting the oldest infrastructure sections in each of the City's four quadrants to prioritize investment in critical assets. Additional information regarding set-asides, budget allocations, or incumbent contractors may be available during the Pre-Solicitation Conference or through direct contact with the City's procurement representative.
