The file is a bid plan document for the City of St. Petersburg's 7th Street North, 50th Avenue North and Vicinity Storm Drainage Improvements Part 1 (Project No. 19045-110), a comprehensive infrastructure project in Pinellas County, Florida. The project involves installing a new stormwater conveyance system with reinforced concrete pipes ranging from 18" to 54" in size, including an 8'x5' concrete box culvert to improve drainage capacity. The bid was released on September 9, 2025, with questions due by September 23, 2025, and final responses required by October 7, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The project has a maximum contract completion time of 365 calendar days for substantial completion, with an additional 30 days for final completion.

The total project budget is $6,300,000, jointly funded by the City of St. Petersburg and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) through its Cooperative Funding Initiative, with potential future federal funding. Contractors are permitted to subcontract up to 75% of the work and must meet stringent qualifications, including having completed three projects in the past five years, with at least two involving large-diameter stormwater infrastructure and urban/residential roadway reconstruction. The project requires comprehensive insurance coverage and must comply with environmental and permitting requirements from multiple agencies, including SWFWMD, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Pinellas County Water and Navigation Control Authority. While no specific small business enterprise (SBE) set-aside percentage is explicitly stated, the bid documents suggest a commitment to diverse business participation.
