Jasper, GA Municipal Utilities On-Demand Contractor Project | NGI Trenchless

Project Overview

A Growing Mountain City With Aging Utility Infrastructure — and No Room for Contractor Delays

Jasper, Georgia sits at the gateway to the North Georgia mountains in Pickens County — one of the fastest-growing corridors outside Metro Atlanta. As its utility infrastructure faces increasing demand from a growing population, point failures don't wait for a procurement cycle. A broken water main, a collapsed sewer lateral, a stormwater pipe undermining a roadway — these require a contractor already vetted, already under agreement, and ready to mobilize.

That's exactly what RFP 2025-008 was designed to secure. The City of Jasper issued this on-demand contractor solicitation to establish a standing service relationship covering water line installation and repair, sanitary sewer line installation and repair, stormwater line installation and repair, point repairs, trenchless rehabilitation, and emergency response — across all three utility systems without a separate procurement event for each call.

NGI Trenchless Pipe & Sewer Repair, based in Woodstock, Georgia and licensed under Georgia Utility Contractor License UC 302559, brought the credentials, field capability, and trenchless methodology to this engagement. With GDOT prequalification (Vendor ID 19371), NASSCO-certified crews, and a comparable 3-year on-call stormwater contract with the City of Johns Creek (RFP #25-339, awarded February 2026), NGI's response demonstrated all three of Jasper's evaluation criteria: company experience, comparable scope, and financing innovation.

Infrastructure Challenge

What the City of Jasper Was Facing

Jasper's utility infrastructure challenge was not a single catastrophic failure but a pattern of aging assets across three systems requiring a contractor capable of operating independently — assessing conditions, developing scope, and mobilizing without waiting for pre-commissioned engineering on each event.

1

Aging Multi-System Infrastructure

Water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems required ongoing point repairs and periodic replacements. No single capital project defined the scope — the city needed a standing contractor relationship to address failures across all three utility types as they occurred.
2

No Pre-Commissioned Engineering on Many Repair Needs

The City of Jasper was explicit in RFP 2025-008: many repair needs have no pre-commissioned engineering. The successful contractor would need to assess conditions and propose scope independently. NGI's diagnostic-first approach begins with CCTV pipeline inspection before any scope is proposed, providing NASSCO PACP-coded condition reports as the defensible basis for each work order.
3

On-Demand Availability as the Core Requirement

The RFP was not a single capital project. It was a standing service relationship — requiring the contractor to be available, credentialed, and mobilization-ready on short notice. Infrastructure failures don't wait for procurement cycles. NGI's base in Woodstock provides rapid mobilization throughout the Pickens County and Cherokee County North Georgia corridor.
4

Financing Innovation Actively Scored — 40 of 100 Points

The heaviest single criterion asked: how does your company help Jasper access repair services without front-loading full material and labor costs? NGI's answer was structural. Trenchless CIPP rehabilitation eliminates the largest cost category in traditional pipe repair — excavation and surface restoration — delivering a 50-year design life at 30–50% lower total cost than open-cut replacement. A budget that funds one traditional replacement can fund multiple trenchless repairs.

RFP Evaluation Framework

How the City of Jasper Scored Respondents

RFP 2025-008 used a 100-point weighted evaluation structure reflecting the city's priorities: demonstrated municipal-grade experience, realistic comparable scope, and a genuine answer to Jasper's budgeting challenge.

30 pts

Company Information & Experience

Licensing, bonding, safety record (EMR), certifications, and organizational capacity. NGI carries Georgia UC 302559, GDOT prequalification (Vendor ID 19371), NASSCO PACP/LACP/MACP certifications, and three consecutive NCCI EMR readings below 1.0: 0.97 (2024), 0.99 (2023), 0.99 (2022).

30 pts

Proposed Similar Scope of Work

Demonstrated comparable municipal utility work. NGI's 3-year on-call stormwater contract with the City of Johns Creek (RFP #25-339, awarded February 2026) provides directly comparable evidence of the same on-call structure, documentation standard, and multi-scale infrastructure capability Jasper's RFP demands.

40 pts

Project Innovation: Financing

The single heaviest criterion. How does the contractor help Jasper access repair capability without front-loading costs? CIPP trenchless rehabilitation eliminates excavation and surface restoration at 30–50% lower total cost than open-cut replacement — a structural cost advantage, not a financing arrangement.

"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."

Methodology

The NGI Diagnostic Process: Scope Development Without Pre-Commissioned Engineering

The City of Jasper was explicit: the successful contractor would assess conditions and develop scope independently, without waiting for external engineering on every point repair event. NGI's approach begins with documentation before it begins with a wrench.

1

CCTV Pipeline Inspection — NASSCO Protocol

Every engagement begins with CCTV deployment — pan/tilt/zoom camera systems that maintain clear visual documentation through the full inspection run. Every pipe condition is logged and coded to NASSCO PACP (sewer main), LACP (lateral), or MACP (manhole) standards, giving the City a documented, defensible basis for prioritizing repairs before any work order is issued.
2

Condition-Based Scope Development

The NASSCO-coded inspection report defines what the pipe actually needs — not what age or maintenance history suggests. NGI proposes the rehabilitation approach based on findings: CIPP lining where structural rehabilitation is appropriate, point repair where defects are isolated, and excavation only where conditions require it. No method is applied as a default assumption.
3

CIPP Lining Installation — ASTM F1216 / F1743

Where rehabilitation is indicated, NGI installs cured-in-place pipe liners manufactured by United Felts to ASTM F1216 and ASTM F1743 standards — sourced through Vortex Companies for a traceable supply chain suitable for municipal grant reporting. The liner is inverted from existing access points, pressed against the host pipe wall, and cured to form a structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe delivering 50+ year design life. For complex lateral reinstatement conditions, NGI deploys Schwalm robotic cutting systems.
4

Execution Under Standing Agreement — No New Procurement

With RFP 2025-008 in place, each repair event is executed under the standing agreement — no new RFP, no new bid, no procurement delay between NASSCO identification and repair mobilization. NGI delivers NASSCO-coded inspection reports, ASTM-compliant installation records, and post-cure CCTV confirmation to the City as each segment is completed — the same documentation package required for capital planning and regulatory compliance filings.

Project Outcomes
