This is a construction plans attachment for the Honore Avenue Reclaimed Water Main Extension Phase 2B project, administered by Sarasota County, Florida. The project involves the furnishing and installation of approximately 5,500 linear feet of reclaimed water transmission main in Osprey, Florida, located in Section 07, Township 38S, Range 19E. The scope includes specialized construction techniques consisting of 20-inch and 8-inch Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) installations and a 20-inch Jack & Bore in a 36-inch casing. The bid due date is December 3, 2025, and the anticipated contract term is 300 calendar days from award. Bidders must attend or review available bidders' conference materials and demonstrate relevant qualifications, including documented experience installing at least 1,000 linear feet of 16-inch or larger diameter pressure pipe and experience with pipeline work involving lane closures and specialized drilling methodologies within the past 10 years.

The project is funded through a Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) grant, which imposes specific compliance requirements including provisions for United States-produced iron and steel products and mandatory reporting on minority and small business participation. Liquidated damages are assessed at $400 per day for delays in substantial completion and $100 per day for delays in final acceptance. The contract requires a bid bond or letter of bondability, with performance and payment bonds mandatory for contracts exceeding $200,000. Comprehensive insurance coverage is required, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises apply, and local or American business preferences will not be applied due to grant funding requirements. Evaluation will be based on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all qualification criteria and specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
