SB009-26 Hi-Hope Regulator Station Relocation Project

The City of Lawrenceville Gas Department is seeking bids for the Hi-Hope Regulator Station Relocation Project through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The procurement involves installing approximately 1,554 feet of 8-inch steel pipe, 336 feet of 6-inch steel pipe, and 400 feet of 6-inch polyethylene pipe along Hi-Hope Road and Hurricane Shoals Road. This will be a line-item contract with a not-to-exceed total, and all materials will be supplied by the City of Lawrenceville. Bidders must be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State, possess a Utility Contractors license, and demonstrate experience with at least three similar contracts valued at $400,000 or more within the past five years. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at Lawrenceville City Hall, with sealed bids due by 2:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Contractors will be responsible for technical requirements including pigging mains, pressure testing, pipe locating, and maintaining professional standards throughout the 90-consecutive-calendar-day project timeline.

Bidders must submit a five percent (5%) bid bond and will be required to provide a 100% payment and performance bond if awarded the contract. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive technicalities. The contract appears to be open to qualified utility contractors with demonstrated experience in similar municipal gas infrastructure projects. Though a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the requirement of previous contract experience at $400,000 suggests a substantial project value. The City of Lawrenceville will provide all materials for the project, which minimizes material procurement responsibilities for the winning contractor. The project involves critical infrastructure relocation and requires precise technical execution along specified road segments in the Gwinnett County area.
