Riverview Golf Course Manhole Repair

The City of Dublin, Georgia is soliciting sealed proposals for manhole repair and replacement at its Riverview Golf Course, 300 Riverview Drive, with a mandatory pre-proposal site visit on November 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and proposals due November 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The notice is tagged to Lee County (FIPS 13177). The solicitation carries no set-aside, preference program, or local-vendor requirement.

The scope covers removing and replacing an existing precast concrete manhole with 30-inch concrete piping, including design and installation of a bypass pumping system. The replacement structure must be a minimum 72-inch inside-diameter precast concrete manhole with an interior epoxy lining specified by product, followed by sod restoration and compliance with OSHA excavation safety and environmental requirements. The contractor bears costs for proposal preparation, bonds, insurance, utility locates, dewatering, excavated-material disposal, grassing, and any environmental remediation. Active bypass pumping and manhole replacement are limited to seven consecutive calendar days, with total on-site construction not to exceed fourteen calendar days unless the City approves in writing. Liquidated damages of $2,100 per day apply for each day beyond the seven-day closure in which the golf course cannot resume normal operations.

The project is project-specific with no renewal options. Work begins on issuance of a Notice to Proceed and requires substantial completion by January 31, 2027. No contract value is stated. Required bonding includes a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check equal to 10 percent of the proposal amount, plus a performance bond and payment bond each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate, workers' compensation at statutory limits, commercial automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, and umbrella or excess liability of $2 million per occurrence and aggregate.

Evaluation weights are qualifications at 30 percent, experience with similar projects at 25 percent, project approach and schedule at 25 percent, and price at 20 percent. The City is not obligated to award to the lowest-priced proposer.
