Florida Trench Safety Act Form v.12.25.pdf

This is a Florida Trench Safety Act Compliance Form (v. 12.25) required for submission with bid responses to the Lift Station #46 Rehabilitation project in Florida. The form serves as a compliance checklist to ensure bidders acknowledge and account for all costs associated with meeting trench safety requirements under Florida Statute 553.63. Bidders must identify and itemize trench safety measures in the provided summary table, specifying the description of each safety measure, unit of measure (linear feet or square yards), quantity, unit cost, and extended cost for up to eight line items (labeled A through H). The form explicitly states that trench safety compliance costs must be included in the total bid amount.

This is not a pay item but rather an informational document designed to confirm that bidders have considered and incorporated trench safety expenses into their overall pricing. Award for the Lift Station #46 Rehabilitation project shall be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the combined total price of all line items, though the District reserves the right to award in its best interest. All costs for Florida Trench Safety Act compliance are the responsibility of the bidder and must be fully accounted for in the submitted bid response.
