This is a detailed specification document for flocculator mixer equipment (Components 2C and 2D) prepared by Anco for the City of Bradenton, Florida's Sedimentation Basin and Flocculator No. 2 rehabilitation project at the Bradenton Water Treatment Plant. The procurement solicitation (IFB #26-027NT) issued on March 12, 2026, requires the removal and replacement of five existing flocculator mixers with new Anco mixers featuring 316 stainless steel paddles. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the project site, with a question submission deadline of March 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Bids are due April 7, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. through the OpenGov procurement portal. Construction must achieve substantial completion within 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays.

Bidders must demonstrate experience completing at least two similar projects involving high-performance coatings and concrete repair, with at least one project valued at not less than $500,000, supported by a minimum of three contractor qualification forms for work completed within the past ten years. All bids require a 5% bid bond, with performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount required for bids of $200,000 or more. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, and business auto coverage. Subcontracting is permitted up to 50% of the contract price with prior written approval. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified. The estimated contract value likely exceeds $1,000,000 based on the comprehensive rehabilitation scope and construction timeline.
