The Small Business Development Program (SBDP) is an intensive program to train small, minority and/or female contractors and consultants in sewer rehabilitation techniques and construction management. Successful completion of this program prepares them for subcontracting and prime contracting opportunities with the City of Atlanta’s $1.2 billion Capital Improvement Program to rebuild our water and sewer infrastructure. The budget includes funding for a series of SBDP associated technical services for small businesses in a declining cost contract. As the City assumes increased responsibilities for direct administration of the program, services provided by the Consultant will decrease.
The scope of this project includes the following training modules:
Sewer Cleaning, Rehabilitation (Pipe-bursting), and Point Repairs
Manhole Rehabilitation and Construction
Right-of- Way Clearing
New Sewer Construction (Open Trench)
Estimating and Bidding
Street Repairs and Paving
Traffic Management and Safety Training
Work Support Services (for all above public involvement)
Scheduling and Project Management
Justification:
Participants will become familiar with the City’s requirements and procedures
Participants will gain a better understanding of the Procurement bid requirements
Risk Management (bonding and insurance requirements)
EBO Certification of minority, female and small business
