The Brunswick-Glynn County Joint Water & Sewer Commission is dedicated to ensuring the reliable delivery of safe drinking water and effective wastewater management across its service area. Its core mission centers on infrastructure resilience, system modernization, and public health protection through the construction, rehabilitation, and operational enhancement of water and sewer facilities. Strategic priorities include upgrading treatment plants, expanding distribution networks, implementing advanced SCADA and billing systems, and improving community sewer resiliency—particularly in underserved areas. The agency prioritizes long-term infrastructure sustainability, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance in all initiatives.
Procurement patterns reveal a strong emphasis on engineering and construction services critical to water and wastewater infrastructure. The agency frequently engages in progressive design-build contracts for treatment facility upgrades and pipeline rehabilitation, alongside specialized services such as smoke and dye testing, boring operations, and system integration for utility management platforms. Contract structures lean toward competitive solicitations and invitation-to-bid mechanisms, favoring integrated project delivery models that align design and construction phases for efficiency and accountability.
Primary procurement targets include Sewage Treatment Facilities (221320), Water and Sewer Line Construction (237110), and Water Supply Systems (221310), reflecting a focus on core utility infrastructure. Engineering services (541330) and operational support like financial system modernization (221320) are also routinely sourced to enhance system oversight. The agency does not employ set-asides and engages a broad spectrum of vendors, with preference given to firms experienced in municipal utility construction, hydraulic modeling, and regulatory-compliant system upgrades.
Organized under the state of Georgia, the agency serves the combined jurisdictions of Brunswick and Glynn County, operating as a regional public utility authority. It utilizes formal RFPs, ITBs, and design-build vehicles to procure capital improvements and operational services, maintaining a technically driven procurement approach focused on infrastructure longevity and public service reliability.
