City of Duluth, Georgia

Request for Proposals

Development of a Stormwater Utility

The City of Duluth, Georgia invites your firm to submit a written proposal to provide Engineering/Planning Services related to the establishment of a stormwater utility. The City of Duluth is a community of 26,000 located in Gwinnett County, Georgia. It is a Phase I MS4 community with a NPDES permit for stormwater. Currently, only limited General Operating funds exist for funding stormwater infrastructure projects, and maintenance activities. These funds must also compete with street maintenance and other high priority activities throughout the city limits.

Establishing a stormwater utility would provide a dedicated revenue source for regular operation and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure, stormwater capital projects, and operation of a stormwater management program; including the planning, compliance, inspection and enforcement issues related to the NPDES requirements.
