2026 Stormwater Management Mowing Program

Cobb County is soliciting bids for the 2026 Stormwater Management Mowing Program, identified by solicitation number SW2380, to perform vegetation maintenance on County-owned properties within unincorporated areas of Georgia, primarily during the warm weather growing season. The contract is structured as a unit price agreement with an estimated value of $750,635.00 and will be administered by the Cobb County Water System’s Stormwater Management Division. Performance is required at multiple specified locations including 1833 Blackwater Drive, 2502 Fairfield Court, and various addresses along Cynthia Court, Leasa Court, and Flint Hill Road, with up to twelve (12) rounds of mowing and related services per site. The work includes debris and trash removal, hazardous material disposal, traffic control, permits, signage, and other restorative tasks. The contract term begins on the date of execution by the Board of Commissioners and terminates on September 30, 2027, with the potential for two additional one-year renewals. Bidders must demonstrate experience serving Georgia local governments, possess adequate financial resources and bonding capacity, maintain corporate stability over the past two years without bankruptcy, and comply with strict qualification criteria to be considered responsive. All submissions must be made exclusively through the Cobb County eProcurement Portal prior to the deadline of 12:00 PM ET on Thursday, June 25, 2026; late bids will not be accepted. Bidders are required to submit a comprehensive package including a signed and notarized affidavit confirming compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Act and participation in E-Verify, a non-collusion affidavit, a bid bond, performance and payment bonds, an updated project schedule, and supporting documentation. Subcontractors must also provide immigration compliance certifications, and the prime contractor is responsible for ensuring all tiers meet this requirement. Invoicing is monthly and must include detailed records of materials used, Georgia sales tax paid, progress photographs, and an updated project schedule. The contract imposes strict obligations regarding indemnification, assignment restrictions, and amendment protocols, allowing changes only via formal change orders. Contractors must use materials and equipment of the highest available quality and adhere to established construction standards. Failure to meet any pass/fail gate—such as missing affidavits, unapproved bonding, or non-responsive bid submissions—will result in disqualification. The Owner retains the right to enforce compliance, reject unbalanced bids, and adjust unit prices annually
