Project site visits will be offered on Monday, March 4 through Friday, March 8, 2024. Prospective proposers who wish to visit the Project site shall register with the Owner via e-mail at CCWA_Procurement@ccwa.us no later than 12:00 p.m., local time, on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. Each Proposer may register for only one site visit and must provide an e-mail contact for receipt of site visit information. On Thursday, February 22, 2024, the Owner will use a random process to assign registered Proposers to available time slots. The Proposer will be advised via their e-mail contact immediately thereafter of their assigned time slot and will receive further instructions. Site visits will last 4 hours. Proposers may use this time to meet with the Owner to discuss the project and visit the sites. Site visits will begin at the Terry R. Hicks Water Production Plant (WPP) site located at 1693 Freeman Road, Jonesboro, Georgia 30226 and will continue to the Hooper WPP and Smith Facilities.
The Owner is planning to construct a new Hicks WPP next to the existing Hicks WPP to increase treatment capacity. To meet and exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency‘s (EPA) regulations for the removal of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) planned to be made public in 2024, advanced treatment processes will be added to the Hicks WPP Site and to the Hooper WPP. Existing Smith pumping facilities will be improved to bring additional raw water capacity to the Hicks WPP Site. Owner objectives for the project upgrades are documented in the Project Planning Report within the RFP.
The Project will be funded by Georgia’s Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund and Emerging Contaminants Grant through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority and will be subject to regulations and requirements of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the EPA. The Project will also be funded by EPA’s Water Infrastructure and Finance Innovation Act (WIFIA) and subject to regulations and requirements of the EPA.
All prospective proposers who wish to participate in the competitive award process for the Project shall submit their Proposals pursuant to the Owner’s Request for Proposals (RFP). Copies of the RFP may be obtained at CCWA's Website for download. Hard copies of RFP documents are the responsibility of prospective proposers.
The Owner will keep a list of entities that have been sent a copy of this Advertisement. This list may be obtained by contacting the Owner at CCWA_Procurement@ccwa.us.
Proposals must include all of the information requested in the RFP and must be accompanied by a Bid Bond as prescribed in the RFP. Failure to supply the bond or to sign the Proposal will be grounds for rejection.
To perform public works, the proposer and its subconsultants and subcontractors, prior to award of a design-build agreement, shall hold or obtain such licenses as required by state statutes, and federal and local laws and regulations. All firms must be licensed in Georgia and have a registered agent in Georgia.
