The City of Summerville is accepting sealed bids for the construction of a sludge pad at its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), with proposals due by 2:00 p.m. on January 5, 2026.

Bids must be submitted to Summerville City Hall, 120 Georgia Avenue, Summerville, GA 30747, and must remain valid for 60 business days. All bids will be publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. the same day in the City Hall Council Room, where contents will be made available for review by interested parties. City officials will take time to evaluate all submissions before awarding a contract.

A sludge pad is a designated, engineered surface—typically made of reinforced concrete—used at wastewater treatment plants to safely dewater, dry, and temporarily store sewage sludge. Sludge is a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process, and the pad allows excess water to drain away while the remaining solids dry. This process reduces volume, controls odors, prevents environmental contamination, and makes the material easier and more cost-effective to transport for disposal or reuse in approved applications.

Bidders are required to submit proposals in sealed envelopes clearly marked “RFB-2026-118-Sludge Pad” for identification. Any bids received after the stated deadline will not be accepted, and the City will not be responsible for late deliveries due to postal or carrier delays.

Bid documents and full project details are available through the City of Summerville.
