Blackshear Georgia

Blackshear, Georgia Proposal

Submitted for Wastewater Treatment Operations:  In May U.S. Water Services submitted proposals, along with two other Utility Operating Companies, to the City of Blackshear.  
After the City completed review of the proposals, U.S. Water has received the highest ranking by committee members regarding proposal evaluation and past performance.  This recommendation indicates that the City will begin discussion to define a Utility Operations and Maintenance Contract to be brought before the City Council for approval.    Blackshear has recently had problems with its south treatment plant and is currently under GEPD consent order.  The regulatory compliance issues led to the City’s consideration of outside help to get the wastewater operation in compliance with mandates set by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GEPD).   As directed by the RFP, we submitted a proposal for four city services: Water, wastewater, public works and city administration.  To initiate the contract services the City has decided to begin with Operations and Maintenance, and may engage the other three services at a later time.
