Contractor selection

How to evaluate an underground utility contractor in Georgia.

Compare contractors using project fit and verifiable evidence—not broad claims alone.

Contractor review checklist

  • Does the contractor understand the intended utility or conduit use?
  • Can the team review route, access, surface, and existing-utility constraints?
  • Are licenses, insurance, bonding, training, and certifications verified where required?
  • Does the proposal define drilling, trenching, conduit, restoration, and excluded scopes?
  • Are schedule, communication, documentation, and change handling clear?
  • Can the contractor provide approved, relevant project evidence?

Prepare comparable bids

Give each contractor the same drawings, route information, conduit specifications, access requirements, known utility information, schedule, and restoration standard. Comparable inputs produce more useful proposals.
