Water system improvements

The Irwin County Board of Commissioners is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive Water System Improvements project to be submitted by May 30, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. at 225 East 4th Street, Ocilla, GA 31774. The project scope encompasses multiple critical infrastructure upgrades, including Chemical Feed Building Rehabilitation, Standby Generator Installation, Pump Modifications, and Hydropneumatic Tank Rehabilitation. Bidding will be conducted on a single prime contract basis using lump sum and unit price structures, with potential alternates specified in the Bid Form. Interested parties must obtain complete bidding documents from Still Waters Engineering in Leesburg, GA, at a non-refundable cost of $250 for electronic PDF files or $350 for printed copies. Bid documents can be examined at the Issuing Office or Irwin County Board of Commissioners Office during business hours. Bidders must provide bid security as detailed in the Instructions to Bidders, and bids cannot be withdrawn for 60 days after the closing date. The project may be funded through the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget's State and Local Fiscal Recovery Program, requiring compliance with federal regulations including 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II.

The procurement opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Successful bidders must furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each covering 100% of the contract amount, from a U.S. Treasury-listed surety licensed in Georgia. No specific budget range is explicitly stated, but the comprehensive nature of the water system improvements suggests a significant infrastructure investment. No property acquisition is anticipated for this project, and all necessary construction permits are expected to be in place before the bid opening. The Irwin County Board of Commissioners reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract in the best interest of the county. Potential bidders should contact Chad Griffin (cgriffin@stillwaterseng.com) or Nikki Griffith (officeadmin@stillwaterseng.com) for additional documentation and specifications. While the exact project value is not disclosed, the multiple system improvements indicate a substantial municipal infrastructure investment.
