Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile Regional Contracting Center, is requesting approval for a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract for Bartow Sewer Upgrades at the Allatoona Lake Project in Georgia. The proposed contractor is the Bartow County Water Authority. This action is funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
Scope of Work
The project involves the installation of a sanitary sewer system to connect the Campgrounds, 41#3, McKaskey, and 41#1 day use areas of the Allatoona Lake Project to the existing Bartow County sewer system. The work must be engineered, designed, and constructed to standards compatible with the Bartow County Water Department's (BCWD) existing infrastructure and county regulations.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
- Funding Source: Operation & Maintenance Civil (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act / Bipartisan Infrastructure Law)
- Period of Performance: Approximately 24 months for construction.
- Proposed Contractor: Bartow County Water Authority (CAGE Code 3BLT2)
- Justification: Sole source procurement is justified in accordance with Bartow County Waste Treatment, Water Service and Conservation, and Zoning Ordinances, which designate the Bartow County Water Authority as the sole utility service provider with territorial rights in the area.
Justification Rationale
The current septic systems are aging, overloaded, and pose a significant risk of compliance failure and potential campground closure. Alternatives considered, such as continuing current maintenance, increasing septic tank size/drain fields, or installing compact sewage treatment plants, were deemed unfeasible or too costly. A previous sources sought notice was published, but the single responding company was not deemed technically capable.
Additional Notes
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition, not a solicitation for proposals. A subcontracting plan will be required as part of the eventual solicitation.
