RFP 2025-01 Elevated Tank Water Storage Maintenance Program

The City of Perry, Georgia, has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) 2025-01 for a comprehensive Water Tank Management Program targeting five elevated water storage tanks located throughout the city. The procurement seeks a qualified firm to provide annual inspections, generate reports, perform tank renovations and repairs, offer emergency services, and implement a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Key requirements include having at least two Level 2 N.A.C.E. certified employees and ensuring all inspection reports are signed by a Level 3 Certified Inspector. The proposal evaluation will be based on four primary criteria: Quality of Submittal (30%), Experience of Key Personnel (30%), Demonstrated experience with similar projects (30%), and Total price (10%). Critical dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the City of Perry Administration Building, with all proposals due by 4:00 PM on April 7, 2025, to be submitted to the Finance Department at 1211 Washington Street, P.O. Box 2030, Perry, GA 31069.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the RFP does require contractors to submit a signed E-Verify affidavit and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, and automobile liability. The CMMS must be web or server-based with 24/7 read-only access for the city, and Tnemec Series is the preferred paint product, with alternative products subject to approval. The water storage tanks range in size from 200,000 to 500,000 gallons and are located at various sites including Tucker Rd, Valley Drive, Armory, Hwy 41, and Kellwood Drive. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract suggests a substantial investment in maintaining critical water infrastructure. Potential bidders should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements and expectations for this water tank management program.
