City of Jasper, GA — On Demand Contractor Services for Utilities Installation and Repairs (RFP 2025-008)

NGI's Approach: Capability, Credentials, and a Method That Fits How Cities Budget

NGI is built for this operating model — breadth across water, sewer, and stormwater systems combined with the responsiveness to mobilize quickly when conditions don't allow weeks of project planning. Based in Woodstock, Georgia, NGI serves Metro Atlanta and the full North Georgia region, including Pickens County and the Cherokee County corridor.

Criterion 1 — Company Information & Experience (30 Points)

NGI holds an active State of Georgia Utility Contractor License — UC 302559, held under Utility Manager Stephen Hyson — UM 102877. Both credentials are publicly verifiable in the Georgia GOALS licensing portal. NGI is also GDOT-prequalified (Vendor ID 19371) — state-level vetting covering financial stability, bonding capacity, safety record, and technical capability above the threshold most local contractors never reach.

Field crews hold active NASSCO PACP, LACP, and MACP certifications — the pipeline assessment standards used in public infrastructure and regulatory compliance documentation. NGI's EMR: 0.97 (2024), 0.99 (2023), 0.99 (2022) — three consecutive years below 1.0, verified by NCCI.

Criterion 2 — Proposed Similar Scope of Work (30 Points)

The City of Johns Creek municipal stormwater contract — a 3-year on-call agreement awarded February 2026 — is the clearest reference for NGI's municipal-grade operational capability. That engagement required the same on-call structure, the same documentation standard, and the same multi-scale infrastructure capability Jasper's RFP demands.

Additional comparable scope experience includes:

• Sewer pipe replacement — full-line replacement of failed sanitary sewer mains and laterals across residential, commercial, and municipal systems
• Structural point repairs — targeted rehabilitation of isolated pipe defects, the primary work type in most on-demand utility agreements
• Hydro-jet pipe cleaning — high-pressure cleaning of sanitary sewer and stormwater lines to restore flow and prepare for rehabilitation
• Storm drain services — inspection, cleaning, and structural rehabilitation of stormwater conveyance infrastructure
• Manhole rehabilitation — structural restoration of manholes and access structures
• Multi-purpose pipeline rehabilitation robotics — robotic-assisted inspection and cutting for complex in-pipe conditions
• Sewer line cleaning and maintenance — scheduled and on-demand cleaning scaled to pipe size and debris level

Criterion 3 — Project Innovation: Financing (40 Points)

Forty of 100 evaluation points went to a single question: how does your company help Jasper access repair services without front-loading full material and labor costs? NGI's answer is structural, not promotional.

Trenchless rehabilitation eliminates the largest cost category in traditional pipe repair — excavation and surface restoration. CIPP pipe lining installs a structurally independent new pipe inside the existing host pipe from access points at each end — no trenching, no road demolition, no surface restoration cost. The result: a 50-year design life pipe at 30–50% lower total cost than open-cut replacement.

A budget that funds one traditional sewer replacement can fund multiple trenchless sewer repairs. A deferred maintenance backlog that looks unmanageable on a per-mile basis becomes addressable when per-foot cost is cut by half. Trenchless methods also eliminate indirect municipal costs — no extended traffic control, no road closure disruptions, no liability from trench failures.

For CIPP lining scopes, NGI sources materials through Vortex Companies, using United Felts American-made CIPP liners manufactured to ASTM F1216 and ASTM F1743 standards in an ISO 9001 certified facility — a documented, traceable supply chain for grant reporting and regulatory compliance.
