2026-26 Annual Stormwater Rehabilitation and Maintenance Construction Services

The City of Covington, Georgia (the "City") requests proposals from qualified contractors to provide on-call stormwater rehabilitation and maintenance construction services on an annual contract. Work will be authorized through individual written Task Orders, except for emergency work authorized under Section 2.1.1. The City does not guarantee any minimum quantity, dollar value, frequency, or type of work under the resulting contract.

The Contractor shall furnish supervision, labor, materials, equipment, transportation, permits assigned to the Contractor, traffic control, erosion control, testing, cleanup, and incidentals necessary to complete each authorized Task Order. Typical work may include:

• Open-cut removal and replacement of storm drainage pipe; installation of new storm pipe; and removal of existing pipe without replacement when directed by the City.
• Removal, replacement, construction, adjustment, or rehabilitation of catch basins, curb inlets, junction boxes, drainage access structures, headwalls with wingwalls, and related appurtenances, including removal of existing drainage structures without replacement.
• Roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalk, concrete driveway, asphalt driveway, shoulder, and landscaped-area restoration.
• Ditch and channel grading to establish positive drainage using the minimum excavation reasonably necessary.
• Riprap, geotextile, sod, seeding, erosion-control measures, and final site stabilization.
• Excavation, rock excavation, City-authorized imported suitable fill, authorized unsuitable-soil removal, dewatering when specifically authorized, and disposal that is not already included in another complete-pay item.
• Traffic control, public protection, utility coordination, cleanup, and restoration.
• Tree removal, small-area clearing and grubbing, and fence or gravel-surface restoration associated with authorized stormwater work.
• Water and sanitary sewer adjustments, relocations, and associated listed services necessary to resolve conflicts with authorized stormwater work, when expressly included in the Task Order and coordinated with the City's utility representatives.

Storm-drain cleaning, CCTV inspection, cured-in-place pipe, sliplining, geopolymer lining, and other specialized stormwater trenchless rehabilitation are outside the base pricing schedule unless added by addendum or authorized as unlisted work.
