9-3 - Bid Form for Reference only.pdf

This is a bid form for reference purposes related to Marion County's Southwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Operations & Maintenance Improvements project in Florida. The project encompasses the installation of three new Positive Displacement Blowers with associated electrical work, site preparation, instrumentation, and stormwater infrastructure, as well as the decommissioning of three existing blowers and reuse of existing hydropneumatic tank and automatic valve components. The bid form is structured as a lump sum (LS) line-item format with twelve major work categories: Mobilization & Demobilization, Insurance & Permits, Payment & Performance Bond, Survey Layout & As-Builts, Sitework/Clearing/Grading, General Restoration, Blower Area Demolition, Blower Area Modifications, Blower Installation and Start-up, Chlorine Contact Tank Area Demolition, Chlorine Contact Tank Area Modifications, and Electrical/Instrumentation Modifications. Marion County has pre-purchased the blowers to reduce lead time, and physical construction will not commence until delivery; however, contractors may begin obtaining required permits during the interim period.

The bid form requires contractors to provide unit prices and total costs for each line item, with space for calculation of the total base bid price expressed both numerically and in written form. Bidders must submit their firm name, the name of the person submitting the proposal, and the date of submission with appropriate signatures. This reference bid form establishes the standardized submission format and pricing structure that contractors must follow when submitting their proposals for the WRF O&M improvements project.
