About this file

This is a Budget Approval and Request for Solicitation form submitted by Bay County Purchasing Department on behalf of the Utility Services Department for the West Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Feasibility Study. Bay County is seeking qualifications from engineering firms to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for developing a new wastewater treatment plant in Bay County, Florida. The study will evaluate treatment technologies, site conditions, environmental constraints, and provide recommendations for design and implementation. This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation based on qualifications only, with a contract term of 15 months and liquidated damages set at $1,861. The qualifications due date is August 4, 2026. A professional engineer license is required for responding firms. Suggested consultants identified include McKim and Creed, Black and Veatch, Dewberry, and Hazen and Sawyer.

The total project budget is $5,000,000, funded entirely through a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) grant (Agreement L0138) that was awarded on November 18, 2025. The project is assigned to Department Account Number 0430-5808113 and designated with grant worktag GRNT-2026-05. Standard insurance requirements include $1 million general liability and $1 million business auto coverage. The solicitation was approved for advertising on June 23, 2026, following Chief Financial Officer/Budget Office approval. A budget amendment will be required once the bid amount is received, as this project was not included in the FY26 budget. Grantor approval and concurrence are not required before advertising. Federal requirements, Davis Bacon, Buy America provisions, and bonding requirements do not apply to this RFQ.
