Sewer main improvements

The Fort Valley Utility Commission is soliciting sealed bids for the Elberta Street Sewer Main Improvements project, a construction procurement involving the removal and replacement of approximately 341 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe using the open-cut method, along with the installation of two new precast manholes. The scope of work encompasses mobilization and demobilization, post-construction cleaning, post-construction closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection, installation and reconnection of service lines and cleanouts, bypass pumping operations, pavement patching and restoration, and traffic control measures. Sealed bids must be received by Friday, April 24, 2026 at 2:00 P.M. at the Fort Valley Utility Commission office located at 500 Anthoine Street, Fort Valley, Georgia 31030, with a mandatory 60-day withdrawal restriction following bid closure. Bidders must be licensed by the State of Georgia and submit bids accompanied by a bid bond or certified cashier's check equal to not less than 5 percent of the base bid from a surety company licensed in Georgia with an "A" minimum rating. The successful contractor will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Complete digital specifications and contract documents are available through QuestCDN (project number 10134043) for a non-refundable $200 fee, and bidders must be registered with Quest/ESG Engineering as having purchased complete Bidding Documents for their proposal to be considered; contact information includes QuestCDN customer support at 952-233-1632 or info@questcdn.com, and Renee Keith at z-rkeith@inframark.com for bidding documents and bidders list registration.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions regarding disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The Fort Valley Utility Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids based on responsiveness, bidder qualifications, financial ability, or other established criteria. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement notice, though the project scope and bonding requirements suggest a mid-to-large scale municipal infrastructure project. All required permits and property acquisitions for easements and right of way are expected to be obtained by the Fort Valley Utility Commission prior to project award, reducing the contractor's responsibility in those areas.
