Bidding documents can be obtained from Still Waters Engineering for a non-refundable fee of $300 for electronic copies and an additional $100 for paper copies. Contractors must comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and the Build America, Buy America Act requirements for domestic production of materials. Bid security and 100% performance and payment bonds are mandatory, and the City of Colquitt reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

The project has specific requirements for participation, including compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act, which mandates that employment and contracting opportunities be given to low-income residents and businesses in the project area. Disadvantaged enterprises are encouraged to participate, and bidders must adhere to domestic production requirements under the Build America, Buy America Act. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant, suggesting available financial resources. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and the project appears to be a new infrastructure development rather than a replacement of existing systems. The procurement is open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications and compliance requirements outlined in the bid documents, with an emphasis on local economic participation and domestic material sourcing.
