The City seeks a contractor to manage its utility locating program for underground water and wastewater infrastructure, including mains, service lines, and laterals.

The contractor must provide dedicated staff during normal operating hours, maintain the ability to respond to emergencies 24/7, and supply the necessary personnel, equipment, tools, and transportation. The scope also includes project management, coordination with the City and SC811, and occasional subcontractor support; subcontractors may not be used as a primary or regular supplemental means of performing the work.

The technical response is limited to 15 pages, excluding the cover page, resumes, and appendices, and must use at least 10-point font.
