This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Albany, Georgia. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The new Lead/Copper Rule Revision (LCRR) under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requires community water systems and non-transient, non-community water systems, herein referred to as "water systems" or "systems," to develop and submit to the Georgia EPD an inventory of service lines within the water system's distribution system by October 16, 2024. The purpose of the inventory is to identify the location, material, and other pertinent information of service lines and ultimately create a replacement plan for all lead service lines and galvanized service lines downstream of lead pipe, also known as "galvanized requiring replacement," within the public water distribution system. This includes the entirety of the service line from the water main to the structure. In certain instances where sampling data dictates, systems must submit service line inventories in addition to being required to submit a documented replacement program for replacing the service lines requiring replacement to the NHDES by October 16, 2024. This project intends to prepare a service line inventory that includes information for all the services in the distribution system and to prepare replacement plans for systems (when required). The service line inventory must be publicly accessible and include a unique location identifier for each "Lead Service Line" (LSL). For water systems serving greater than 50,000 persons, the inventories must also be posted online; Georgia EPD will offer a software program accessible to all public water systems to update service line inventory. This project will be bid on a unit sum basis for all specified work and will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest total base bid. A 5% Bid Bond is required of all bidders. Bid bond must be present for bid to be read or considered. 100% Performance and Payment bonds will be required of the successful bidder. For additional information, contact Ricky Gladney, Buyer I, at (229) 431-3211. Submit all questions via email to rgladney@albanyga.gov cc: iswilliams@albanyga.gov and kross@albanyga.gov.
