Water meter replacement

The City of Louisville in Jones County, Georgia, is seeking a water meter replacement project involving the procurement of approximately 1,600 new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) compatible master meters ranging from 0.5" to 12" in size. The procurement, engineered by Turnipseed Engineers, requires comprehensive replacement services including connection to existing AMI infrastructure, testing, technical support, and related appurtenances. The bid is scheduled to be opened on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 3:30 P.M., with mandatory advertisement in two local newspapers on September 25, 2025, and October 9, 2025. The project will be posted on the Georgia Procurement Registry at least 30 days prior to the bid opening, utilizing specific NIGP codes 89044 (water meters), 89045 (meter fittings and accessories), and 89068 (water meter removal tags). The construction timeline is set at 180 consecutive calendar days for substantial and final completion, with Niyomi Lovings at Turnipseed Engineers serving as the primary contact for potential bidders.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure replacement project open to qualified vendors. The project involves integration with existing AMI infrastructure, suggesting potential technical compatibility requirements for bidders. The procurement documents list a minimal dollar estimate of $1.00 on the procurement registry, which likely does not reflect the actual project value. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, and no explicit restrictions on bidder qualifications are outlined. The project requires technical expertise in water meter installation, AMI system compatibility, and municipal infrastructure replacement. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in meter technology, infrastructure integration, and ability to complete the project within the 180-day consecutive calendar timeline.
