Sewer investigation

The state and local contract opportunity is a sewer investigation project for Wilcox County, Georgia, specifically located in the City of Sandersville. The procurement involves a comprehensive sewer system assessment requiring 100 manhole inspections, a digital survey with 3D modeling, and the installation and subsequent removal of 100 sewer water level monitors. Bidders must complete the entire project within 150 consecutive calendar days, with the bid submission deadline set for October 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time. The project requires a detailed analysis and formal reporting of the sewer infrastructure, with bidders expected to submit a Bid Bond for at least 5% of their total bid amount. While a Utility Contractors License is not mandatory for bidding, any actual utility work must be performed by a contractor holding a valid State of Georgia Utility Contractors License and overseen by a state "Utility Manager". Specifications for the project can be obtained online at https://turnipseed.com/current-projects/out-for-bid/ for a $50 fee, which includes a digital and one printed copy.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City of Sandersville reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the documentation. Bidders should note that no submitted bid may be withdrawn for 60 days after the bid closing, which provides the city flexibility in bid evaluation. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving extensive manhole inspections, digital surveying, 3D modeling, and water level monitoring—suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should be prepared for a complex project requiring advanced technical capabilities in sewer system investigation and infrastructure assessment.
