South Oliver Three-Phase Electrical Distribution Line Rehabilitation and Pole Replacement Project

The City of Elberton seeks qualified contractors to rehabilitate and reconstruct approximately 8,100 linear feet of three-phase primary electrical distribution line for the Elberton Utilities Electric Division. The work parallels State Highway 77 and Mineral Springs Road and includes replacing utility poles, upgrading primary conductors, and providing all associated labor, equipment, and incidental materials not furnished by the City. Bidders must submit sealed bids to the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall in Elberton, Georgia, by 2:00 p.m. on December 2, 2026, accompanied by a five percent bid bond or certified check and a notarized Georgia E-Verify affidavit. Although a pre-bid conference is not mandatory, the City encourages all bidders to attend, and bids must remain firm for 90 days after opening. The City will evaluate responsibility based on past performance, safety record, and SAM.gov eligibility, and submitting the lowest bid does not guarantee contract award. Because the U.S. Department of Energy and GEFA fund the project, the selected contractor must furnish 100 percent performance and payment bonds and comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, LCPtracker reporting, and Build America, Buy America requirements.
