How to bid on contractor prequalification for Cobb County Water System
What Cobb County Water System is buying
Cobb County Water System is looking for new contractors to prequalify for various construction services during the 2026-2028 period. This includes water and sewer line construction, adjustments to manholes and valve boxes, Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation, manhole rehabilitation, and stormwater construction.
Prequalification means that once approved, your company will be eligible to bid on specific projects within these categories as they arise, without needing to go through a full qualification process for each individual project. This can streamline future bidding opportunities with the county.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Qualifications was published on August 29, 2025. The final deadline for submissions is May 31, 2028, at 12:00 PM ET. However, submissions are reviewed quarterly, meaning you do not need to wait until the final deadline to submit your qualifications.
You can submit your response at any time through the county’s eProcurement Portal. Submissions will be reviewed on a quarterly basis, allowing for ongoing opportunities to become prequalified.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for construction firms specializing in water infrastructure, wastewater systems, and stormwater management. Companies with experience in trenching, pipe laying, rehabilitation techniques like CIPP, and general civil construction for utilities will find this relevant.
If your firm is new to working with Cobb County or is looking to expand its public sector client base in the Marietta, GA area, this prequalification is a necessary step to be considered for future construction projects with the Water System.
How to respond
To access the full details and submit your response, you will need to go to the Cobb County eProcurement Portal. Once on the portal, you may need to complete a brief security check.
You will then need to sign in or create a free vendor account. This account will allow you to download any necessary plans, ask questions, join the list of interested vendors, and submit your qualifications before the deadline. Any updates or addenda will be communicated through this portal.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your submission, clearly detail your company's experience in each of the specified work areas, such as water and sewer line construction, CIPP rehabilitation, and stormwater projects. Provide specific examples of past projects that demonstrate your capabilities and successful completion of similar work.
Highlight your firm's relevant certifications, licenses, and safety records. Ensure all requested financial information and references are current and accurate. Since submissions are reviewed quarterly, aim to submit your qualifications well in advance of the final deadline to be considered in an earlier review cycle.
