Water Meter Installations

The City of Dublin, Georgia is seeking qualified contractors to install 762 Neptune water meters and endpoints through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued on January 16, 2026. The procurement encompasses installation of various Neptune water meter models, including 720 units of 5/8" T-10 Water Meter Pro Coder, 24 units of 1" T-10, and multiple ultrasonic meters ranging from 1-1/2" to 6" in size, all featuring R900i endpoints and antennas. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities to bore 2" holes in existing cast iron meter lids, install complete meter systems, and upload electronic meter data directly to the City's Tyler Technologies ERP Pro 10 billing system with daily Excel spreadsheet updates. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on four key areas: 30% experience and personnel, 30% price proposals, 30% completion time, and 10% references. Critical procurement dates include a February 11, 2026 deadline for written questions, proposal submission deadline of February 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM, and projected contractor selection by March 5, 2026.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, but does require strict compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, mandating E-Verify authorization and completed affidavits for the primary contractor and any subcontractors. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $500,000 in Automobile/Vehicle Liability, and Worker's Compensation with $100,000 per accident or disease limits. The City provides no guaranteed minimum contract value, and proposers must submit one original and three copies of their proposals, with pricing required to remain firm for 120 calendar days from the proposal deadline. Successful contractors must execute the agreement and provide required insurance certificates and performance bonds within ten calendar days of receiving the Notice of Award. The scope of work includes providing all necessary labor and materials such as nuts, bolts, gaskets, spool pieces, and PE pipe for complete meter installations across the municipal infrastructure.
