Rice Avenue Sewer Replacement

The City of Dublin, Georgia, has issued a solicitation (PE-66427-NONST-2026-000000059) seeking construction services for the Rice Avenue Sewer Replacement project. The project involves complete removal and replacement of approximately 410 linear feet of 8-inch sewer line, including installation of new manholes, sewer laterals, and associated bypass pumping during construction. The work requires compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, including environmental erosion control for 0.25 acres, traffic management, and full site restoration with permanent grassing meeting city standards. Key deliverables include successful completion of lamping, mandrel, and CCTV testing, with substantial completion required within 90 calendar days and final completion within 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The contractor assumes full responsibility for all phases, including site coordination, material handling, testing, and restoration, with inspections at the project site and acceptance by the City of Dublin. The solicitation emphasizes a best-value award process based on multiple weighted factors: price proposal (30%), experience with similar projects (25%), project approach and schedule (20%), key personnel/subcontractors (15%), and compliance/responsiveness (10%). Price is evaluated alongside technical and managerial qualifications, ensuring the City is not obligated to accept the lowest bid but selects the most advantageous offer overall. The procurement is not limited by socioeconomic set-asides, size status certifications, or federal standardized FAR clauses, as this is a local government project. Submission requirements include detailed company information, references, resumes, and work history. The bidding deadline is May 15, 2026, with proposals submitted in hard copy to the City's Purchasing Director. No contract clauses referencing federal acquisition standards such as FAR parts, packaging/marking requirements, or delivery terms are present. Payment terms and invoicing details are not specified, and no option periods or security clearance requirements are noted. Overall, this project represents a fixed-scope construction contract for critical municipal sewer infrastructure, with rigorous performance, testing, and restoration standards to be met under the City of Dublin’s oversight.
