Section 2: General Information
2.1 Intent and Purpose
This is an invitation for your firm to submit a sealed bid for Reinforced Concrete
Pipe and Fittings Annual Contract for a twelve-month period, to the Clayton County
Water Authority (CCWA). CCWA will not guarantee any minimum or maximum
quantities during the contract term.
The successful bidder(s) will be required to sign a contract written by CCWA. A
sample agreement has been provided with this document.
The contract will be awarded for a twelve (12) month period and may be renewed for
up to four (4) one-year terms upon mutual written consent by both parties. By
submitting a sealed bid, bidders must agree to provide all stated services at the same
terms, conditions, and bid prices for the specified twelve-month period.
Work under this contract will be determined and assigned by CCWA on an “as-
needed”, “when-needed” basis. CCWA does not guarantee any minimum or
maximum work under this contract and reserves the right to procure any similar type
of work as a separate solicitation at its sole discretion.
In submitting this bid, bidder certifies that he/she is qualified to do business in the
State of Georgia as required by laws, rules, and regulations or, if allowed by statute,
covenants to obtain such qualification prior to bid award. If your company is a
corporation, it must be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State.\
The Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) intends to award multiple contracts
pursuant to this Request for Bid (RFB). Each awarded contractor is expected to
provide the specified goods and/or services for the full duration of the contract term,
as defined herein. CCWA does not intend to utilize any other cooperative
agreements, state contracts, or CCWA contracts for the scope of work covered under
this RFB, except in cases of emergency, vendor non-performance, or other
unforeseen circumstances that require immediate procurement action to maintain
operational continuity. The contracts awarded through this solicitation will serve as
the designated source of procurement from which CCWA may, at its sole discretion,
request goods and services as needed during the contract period, unless otherwise
terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
2.2 Coordination and Safety
The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating the work in accordance with
the requirements of local, state and federal authorities and jurisdictions as
required. The Contractor shall provide CCWA with copies of permits,
certifications, etc. upon request, to document compliance with these
requirements. Also, the Contractor will need to coordinate the planned work with
CCWA staff to prevent any interruptions to operations, customers and the
general public.
2.3 Bid Submission
Solicitations must be submitted through the online Bonfire Portal at
https://ccwa.bonfirehub.com/. Submissions by other methods will not be accepted.

2.4 Bid Evaluation
A contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder whose bid
conforms to the Request for Bid specifications and will be the most advantageous to
CCWA. An evaluation will also be performed to ensure the bidder complies with the
required submittals. Determination of the best responsive responsible, bidder will be
the sole judgment of the CCWA.
CCWA reserves the right to award both a Primary and a Backup Contractor. The
Primary Contractor will be assigned the work initially. If the Primary Contractor's
schedule or performance does not meet CCWA’s expectations, the Backup
Contractor will be assigned the work. This approach will ensure that all requests
under the annual contract are addressed promptly and efficiently.
At the discretion of CCWA, the bid items have been separated into two sections:
“REQUIRED BID ITEMS” AND “OPTIONAL BID ITEMS”. “REQUIRED BID ITEMS”
consist of products that CCWA tends to use on a more frequent basis. “OPTIONAL
BID ITEMS” consist of products that are used on a less frequent basis.
In order to be considered responsive, each bidder must provide pricing for each item
listed in the bid table titled “REQUIRED BID ITEMS”.
CCWA reserves the right to award the “OPTIONAL BID ITEMS” to multiple vendors.
This procurement has a SLBE bid discount for evaluation purposes only, which will
be given to CCWA certified SLBE primes only. For more details, please refer to
Division 2, Section 8 of this bid package.
2.4 Addendum
Bidders may submit questions regarding this contract prior to the bid opening. To be
considered, all questions must be submitted online through the Bonfire Portal at
https://ccwa.bonfirehub.com/. Responses to all bidder inquiries will be provided in the
form of an Addendum, which will be made available online through the Bonfire Portal.
All issued addenda shall become an official part of the Bid Documents.
