Blanket purchase order for drinking water and cooler/dispenser systems for Colt Creek State Park…

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued blanket purchase order C79344 effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, for drinking water and cooler/dispenser systems at Colt Creek State Park. The contract provides for delivery of bottled water (5-gallon Zephyrhills Spring Water at $5.99 per unit and 5-gallon Pure Life water at $5.79 per unit), rental of two basic hot and cold water dispensers at $3.49 per month each (one located at the Ranger Station and one at the Shop), delivery fees of $9.99 per visit, and semi-annual cooler cleaning services at $84.99. The estimated annual cost is $1,200.00, with a not-to-exceed contract value of $2,499.00.

The water delivery service addresses health and wellness requirements for DEP staff and volunteers at the facility, as the park's treated and tested well water is unsuitable for long-term human consumption and is also needed for prescribed burn operations. Water quantities will vary seasonally and based on operational needs. Payment is contingent upon DEP inspection and acceptance, with partial payments permitted upon receipt of itemized invoices. The contractor must perform or re-perform services at no additional cost to the Department if deliverables are deemed unsatisfactory, with contract termination as a potential consequence for service failures.
