Bid Specifications for Wastewater Treatment Plant Electrical Generator Replacement and Hardening
This is a bid specification document issued by the City of Pembroke Pines for the replacement and hardening of electrical generators at the Pembroke Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant, located at 13975 Pembroke Road, Pembroke Pines, Florida. The project scope requires contractors to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, services, and incidentals to replace one existing generator and install one new generator in the West Main Electrical Building Generator Room. Work includes demolition and removal of the existing generator, exhaust system, silencer, interior fuel piping, day tank, and electrical components, along with removal of a trailer-mounted generator after the new unit becomes operational. Structural modifications encompass removal and installation of louvers, installation of new exhaust silencer support systems, wall penetrations, and a new generator shroud. The contractor must also provide a new master generator paralleling control panel and perform all associated mechanical, structural, instrumentation and control, electrical work, and restoration of the Generator Room. The contract requires contractors to demonstrate at least five comparable public utility projects in Florida completed within the past five years with relevant contact information, and submission of a detailed construction schedule within ten days of the notice to proceed. Progress meetings, updated schedules, daily logs, and quality control documentation are required throughout the project duration.
Payment is structured on a lump-sum basis with contractor costs including mobilization/demobilization (not to exceed five percent of contract price with 75 percent paid upon mobilization and 25 percent upon demobilization), bonds and insurance, and separate line items for existing generator removal, new generator installations, electrical work, structural modifications, instrumentation, and miscellaneous work. The contractor bears all costs for temporary utilities, dewatering permits, materials testing through an independent testing laboratory, pre-construction video documentation, and hurricane preparedness planning. All submittals, including shop drawings, samples, and working drawings, must be reviewed and approved by the engineer before work commences, with the contractor responsible for correction costs on subsequent resubmittals beyond the first review. The project is funded through CDBG-MIT (Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation) sources, and contractors must comply with applicable Florida Building Code, OSHA regulations, and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The contract specifies that the contractor maintains sole responsibility for site safety, protection of existing utilities, and coordination with other contractors or municipal operations occurring during the construction period.

1.03 TRADE NAMES AND ALTERNATIVES THAT
A. For convenience in designation in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, materials to be incorporated in the WORK may be designated under a trade name or the name of a manufacturer and its catalog information. The use of alternative material which is equal in quality and of the required characteristics for the purpose intended will be permitted, subject to the following requirements:

3. Base Bid requirements outlined in the Supplement to Bid Form, shall supersede any language contained hereinafter.
B. Whenever in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS the name or the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor is given for a product or other material, or if any other source of a product or material is indicated therefore, such information is given for the convenience of the CONTRACTOR only, and no limit, restriction, or direction is indicated or intended thereby, nor is the accuracy or reliability of such information guaranteed.
