About this file
This is a Budget Approval Request for Solicitation form submitted by the Bay County Utilities Department (Utility Services - Retail Wastewater) to the Bay County Purchasing Department for smoke testing, manhole inspections, and inflow and infiltration (I&I) analysis of the sanitary sewer collection system. The project aims to identify potential sources of inflow and infiltration through smoke testing to detect defects such as broken pipes, illegal connections, and missing cleanout caps that contribute to excessive flows and treatment costs during wet weather events. The solicitation will be issued as an Invitation to Bid (ITB) based on lowest price, with submissions due by 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The contract term is 12 months, with no pre-bid meeting or mandatory site visit required. The department point of contact is James Tucker at the Utility Services Department.
The estimated budget for this project is $150,000.00, funded through general County revenues (not grant-funded). The adopted FY26 budget was $128,677, with the department noting it will utilize cost savings or reduce costs from other contracted services to cover any difference above the adopted amount. Budget approval was granted on July 28, 2026. Liquidated damages are set at $641.10. Standard insurance requirements include $1M General Liability, $1M Business Auto, and Workers' Compensation. A General Contractor License is required. The solicitation was prepared by Shelia Williams on July 7, 2026, and approved by Mike Allen, Utility Services Director, on the same date.
