South primary clarifier rebuild (labor only)

The City of Milledgeville is requesting sealed bids for labor-only reconstruction of the South Primary Clarifier at its Wastewater Treatment Plant, with bids due December 22, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. A local-vendor preference adopted February 22, 2011 applies.

The scope is removal and replacement of all clarifier components — sprockets, non-metallic drive chains, fiberglass flights, carry shoes, wear strips, and upper tracking (25 pieces of 2.5 × 2.5 × 3/16 × 20-foot galvanized angle iron requiring field drilling). The clarifier is 4,507 square feet in surface area, 11.16 feet deep, with a volume of 0.375 MG. The City supplies all replacement parts and equipment; the contractor provides labor, personnel, and equipment for removal and installation, handles part removal and installation costs, and performs all cleanup inside the clarifier upon completion. The contractor bears responsibility for any costs resulting from abuse, neglect, or unsafe actions. Bidders must provide an estimated number of days to start and complete the project and submit sealed hard copies with two signed bid copies.

Pricing must be firm and not subject to increase during the contract term. Bidders must submit a current Occupational Tax Certificate from the City of Milledgeville, comply with the Georgia Security & Immigration Compliance Act (GSIC) including E-Verify registration, provide three reference letters, and submit an E-Verify Form or Contractor Affidavit. Contract execution must occur within ten days of the mayor's signature. The City is exempt from federal excise and sales taxes; pricing must be net and exclusive of such taxes.

The project completion target is mid-March 2022, subject to equipment delivery (expected late February 2022) and unforeseen circumstances. Questions were due December 10, 2021, with answers provided December 14. Site visits are available by appointment. The successful vendor becomes the prime contractor and sole point of contact for all contractual matters.
