The bid opening will be held at the offices of The Waterworks and Sewer Board of The City of Gadsden (GWWSB) located at 515 Albert Rains Boulevard, Gadsden, Alabama 35901.

The Project is for a periodic bid that consists of rehabilitation of sanitary sewer manholes within the GWWSB’s service area. Each Work Authorization will be designated by GWWSB, or its consultant, as needed utilizing unit prices for commonly performed contractor work items. Construction of these projects is intended to be performed within the shortest possible time frame with the work beginning and ending on dates selected for each work authorization. Failure to comply with the times specified within each Work Authorization may, in the sole determination of GWWSB, result in the contractor being prohibited from additional work for GWWSB, until such time as contractor is back on schedule. Contractor must meet experience requirements and be able to mobilize onsite within seventy-two (72) hours of an emergency call from GWWSB. Contractors must submit with their bid a completed Bidder’s Qualification form and any valid licenses and insurance.

Bidding Documents may be obtained from the office of CDG Engineers & Associates, 224 Broad Street, Suite 201, Gadsden, AL 35951, (256) 543-9431 or at the office of the GWWSB, located at 515 Albert Rains Boulevard, Gadsden, Alabama 35901.

All bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope bearing on the outside the name of the bidder, bidder’s license number, address and name of the project.

Your Bid will be required to be submitted under a condition of irrevocability for a period of 90 days after submission.

The attention of bidders is called to the provisions of State Law Governing General Contractors, as set forth in Title 34, Chapter 8, Article 1, Code of Alabama of 1975, as amended; and the provisions of said law shall govern bidders insofar as it is applicable. The above-mentioned provisions of the Code make it illegal for the Owner to consider a bid from anyone who is not properly licensed under such code provisions. In addition, bidders must carry the municipal and utility construction classification as listed in the latest edition of the Roster of the State Licensing Board for General Contractors, Montgomery, Alabama. The Owner, therefore, will not consider any bid unless the bidder produces evidence that he is so licensed. Neither will the Owner enter into a Contract with a foreign corporation which is not qualified under State Law to do business in the State of Alabama.

The attention of nonresident bidders is called to the provisions of Alabama Law, Title 39, Chapter 3, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended, relating to preference to be given to resident contractors in Alabama over nonresident contractors in the award of contracts in the same manner and to the same extent as provided by the laws of the state of domicile of the nonresident contactor, and to the requirements that the bid documents tendered by any nonresident contractor must be accompanied by “a written opinion of an attorney-at-law licensed to practice law in such nonresident contractor’s state of domicile as to the preference, in any or none, granted by the law of that state to its own business entities who’s principal places of business are in that state in the letting of any or all public contracts”.
