About this file
This is a technical specifications and bidding document for the Chesnut Park Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) Well Drilling and Completion of Subsurface Testing project issued by Pinellas County Utilities in Florida, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The project requires drilling and completing one Class V injection well (MAR-1) with a 24-inch diameter carbon steel casing to approximately 600 feet below land surface and an open borehole extending to approximately 1,250 feet below land surface, along with an optional 6-inch diameter monitor well (MW-1) and four pad monitoring wells. The work includes comprehensive subsurface testing activities such as geophysical logging, packer testing, mechanical integrity testing, well development, pumping tests, and a short-term injection test using filtered water from Lake Tarpon to recharge the Upper Floridan Aquifer. The specifications detail mobilization, drilling techniques, casing installation, grouting, water quality sampling, and site restoration requirements. The contract term is 540 consecutive calendar days with substantial completion required within 365 days and final completion within 395 days of the Notice to Proceed, followed by a three-year warranty period. The mandatory pre-bid site visit was scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 10:00 am, with questions due by November 7, 2025, and proposal submissions due November 13, 2025, at 3:00 pm.
The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on a unit price bid schedule covering pay items including mobilization/demobilization, pit casing, drilling, geophysical logging, casing installation, grout and bridge plugs, well development, pumping tests, packer testing, mechanical integrity testing, injection testing, water quality testing, and standby time. The project includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal of 5% of the contract value. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation including bonding letters, proof of corporate financial stability and technical capability, E-Verify compliance certification, and insurance coverage from Florida-authorized carriers with minimum limits ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence across general liability, automobile, employer's liability, and equipment policies. The contractor is responsible for all costs related to permits, water supply, disposal of drilling cuttings and fluids at FDEP-approved facilities, temporary facilities including a 300-square-foot engineer's office trailer with full utilities and amenities, and compliance with environmental protection and safety regulations. All materials must be new and first-quality, and the contractor must maintain a superintendent on-site during all drilling, testing, and construction operations. The project is co-funded by SWFWMD and Pinellas County Utilities with an estimated maximum mobilization cost not to exceed 15 percent of the total bid amount for each contract part.
