2027CUP

The 2027 Countywide Unit Price Contract (2027CUP) is a solicitation issued by the Cobb County Department of Transportation in Georgia for general construction and systems procurement. The scope of work primarily focuses on the provision and installation of wireless communications systems and industrial-grade uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, including various UPS types and remote monitoring hardware. All work must adhere to the 2021 Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, as well as specific technical standards such as FCC Part 15, IEEE networking standards, and UL1778. The contract is structured as a unit price agreement, meaning the county does not guarantee a minimum amount of compensation or a specific number of projects, but will request not-to-exceed cost estimates based on the contractor's schedule of items. Key administrative requirements include the submission of a 5% bid bond, a 100% performance bond, and a 10% labor and material payment bond for any work exceeding 25,000 dollars. Contractors must possess a valid state of Georgia Utility Contractor License and comply with ADA standards and various federal labor and safety laws, including the Anti-Kickback Act and the National Occupation Safety and Health Act of 1970. Performance is measured through rigorous inspection and acceptance phases, including pre-installation and stand-alone tests for ITS devices and specific AASHTO and ASTM testing for graded aggregates. Work orders must commence within ten calendar days of a Notice to Proceed, and all submittals must be provided in specific PDF formats with internal bookmarking for documents exceeding ten pages.
