Form_5_Grant_Provisions.pdf

This is a Grant Provisions form issued by Collier County, Florida, in connection with an Invitation to Bid for Bypass Pump Preventative Maintenance, Repair and Replacement services managed by the County's Public Utilities Wastewater Division. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive maintenance services for approximately 30+ fixed and portable bypass pump stations, with labor services categorized into three hourly rate categories: Site Superintendent (approximately 150 hours), Supervisor (approximately 100 hours), and Service Technician (approximately 300 hours). All-inclusive hourly rates must encompass travel expenses, equipment, and labor. Bids are due February 9, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., submitted electronically through the County's procurement platform with no pre-bid meeting scheduled. The contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals. Award will be made using a lowest-price mechanism to identify primary, secondary, and tertiary vendors for urgent and routine maintenance needs.

Vendors must comply with all required licenses and forms, including E-Verify enrollment, appropriate business tax receipts, professional licenses, Florida Certificate of Conduct Business, certifications in diesel engine repair and bypass pump repair, and 24/7 availability with three-year service record retention. Pricing includes specific markup rates for equipment, parts, rental equipment, and subcontractor services, with repairs under $5,000 subject to verbal or written County approval and repairs exceeding $5,000 requiring detailed three-business-day quote submissions. The contract is grant-funded, potentially through FEMA Public Assistance, introducing additional federal compliance requirements. Historically, County departments spent approximately $45,000 annually; however, expenditures increased to approximately $14 million in 2022 due to Hurricane Ian recovery efforts. Failure to complete and execute all required grant provisions and assurances forms and return them with the bid submission may render the bidder non-responsive.
