This is a technical specification document for flocculator and rapid mixer equipment related to the City of Bradenton's Sedimentation Basin and Flocculator No. 2 Rehabilitation project at the Bradenton Water Treatment Plant in Florida. The project encompasses the removal and replacement of five existing flocculator mixers with new Anco mixers featuring 316 stainless steel paddles, as well as the removal, disassembly, modification, coating, and reinstallation of two sedimentation basin mixer systems with new WesTech gearbox assemblies. The invitation to bid (IFB #26-027NT) was issued on March 12, 2026, with bids due April 7, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the project site, and questions must be submitted by March 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. 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 concrete repair using epoxy injection and high-performance coatings, with at least one project valued at not less than $500,000 completed within the past ten years. All bids must include a 5% bid bond and be submitted electronically through the OpenGov procurement portal; performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount are required for bids of $200,000 or more. Licensed general contractors are eligible to bid with no identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, and subcontracting is permitted up to 50% of the contract price with prior written approval. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, and business auto coverage with the City named as additional insured. The contract value is not disclosed, though the $500,000 minimum project experience requirement suggests a substantial contract likely exceeding $1,000,000 based on the comprehensive rehabilitation scope and 150-day construction schedule.
