About this file

This is a bid form and respondent submittal document for ITB No. 26-53 issued by the Bay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for smoke testing, manhole inspections, and inflow and infiltration (I&I) analysis services. The project scope encompasses smoke testing of approximately 64.5 miles of gravity sanitary sewer main (340,560 linear feet), sealing of manhole chimneys, installation of rain dishes in manhole rings and covers, replacement or installation of cleanout caps on approximately 6,600 laterals, installation of cleanout plugs, and basin reports for approximately 80 lift stations. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, with public opening to follow immediately.

The submittal requires a bid bond, affidavits of compliance regarding foreign entities and human trafficking, anti-collusion certification, scrutinized companies list certification, conflict of interest disclosure, experience records demonstrating three comparable projects completed within the past five years, references questionnaire, drug-free workplace certification, equipment and personnel lists, and subcontractor information.
