I. GENERAL BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Jasper, GA is soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFP) from respondents capable of
entering into a public-private “partnership” agreement to provide operation, maintenance, and
management services for the City's water distribution and sewage collection systems. The City
is interested in maximizing benefits for its customers from this effort and views the intended
relationship as a partnering venture in which issues are quickly and fairly resolved to the mutual
benefit of the City, its ratepayers, and the successful respondent. The City and the successful
respondent may enter into a mutually binding operation, maintenance, and management
agreement addressing the topics contained in this document. The City also reserves the right to
expand the scope of services to include additional responsibilities, reduce the scope of services,
or decide not to outsource any of the City’s departments mentioned throughout this RFP
document.
The successful respondent will operate, maintain and manage the City's water distribution and sewage collection systems, including associated facilities such as lift stations, pump stations and elevated water tanks. Work includes project management and technical support for on-site staff, preventive maintenance and corrective repairs, condition assessments and capital improvement forecasting, quality control and assurance, health and safety, regulatory compliance and reporting, maintenance documentation and spare parts inventory, training, odor and noise control, risk management, and recommendations for capital improvements within the first 120 days.

A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what a GC or agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
