This is a references document for the City of Palm Bay, Florida's North Regional Water Treatment Plant (NRWTP) Lime Slurry Feed Pump Replacement project. The document provides guidance on reference requirements for contractors bidding on the turnkey replacement of three existing lime slurry feed pumps. Bidders are required to submit references demonstrating their qualifications and experience with similar pump replacement projects, particularly those involving lime slurry service applications and high-efficiency, abrasion-resistant pumping equipment. The references should validate the contractor's capability to execute all project components, including equipment removal, installation of new pumping units, startup services, and testing procedures.

The reference submission requirements establish credibility standards for evaluating contractor qualifications and past performance. References must demonstrate relevant experience with comparable municipal water treatment plant projects and lime slurry feed pump systems. This documentation supports the City's assessment of contractor capability to successfully complete the turnkey replacement project within acceptable timeframes and quality standards. Contractors should provide detailed reference information that reflects their experience with similar scope, scale, and technical complexity to strengthen their bid proposals and demonstrate reliability in executing water treatment facility upgrades.
