#2026-20 Pace Street Floodplain Restoration

The City of Covington is soliciting sealed proposals for the Pace Street Floodplain Restoration Project in Covington, Georgia. The primary objective of this effort is to restore floodplain function by excavating approximately 3,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment, improving drainage capacity, and stabilizing disturbed areas. The scope of work includes grading and shaping the floodplain, hauling materials to a city-designated disposal site at 185 Piper Road, installing erosion and sediment control measures in compliance with GSWCC standards, and performing seeding, mulching, and riprap placement. Proposals are due by 10:00 AM on October 6, 2026, and must be submitted as one hard copy and one electronic copy on a USB thumb drive to Maranna Gilbert at City Hall. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 3, 2026. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond, and the awarded contractor will be required to furnish 100% payment and performance bonds within ten days of notification. Evaluation is based on a 50-point cost proposal and a 50-point technical evaluation focusing on experience with similar municipal projects, personnel qualifications, and the proposed approach to stabilization and sediment removal. The contract requires a one-year warranty period, and payment is issued monthly for work that has been completed, inspected, and approved by the City. Required submittals include a Georgia Business License, evidence of insurance, and various affidavits, including E-Verify and non-collusion certifications. All work must adhere to the technical specifications issued in July 2026 and OSHA safety requirements.
