This is a Notice of Award issued by the City of Sanford, Florida for the Groveview Pump Station Improvements project (IFB 24/25-23). The project encompasses the demolition of an existing above-ground pump station and its replacement with a new submersible pump station, including construction of one junction manhole, installation of force and gravity mains to redirect flow, implementation of electrical controls and equipment, and integration of an emergency diesel by-pass pump. Sealed bids were due on May 22, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. local time, with all contractor questions required by May 15, 2025. The award was issued on September 16-17, 2025, with the Notice of Award signed by Craig Radzak, Assistant City Manager, on behalf of the City of Sanford. The successful contractor must execute the Agreement and furnish required Performance Bond, Payment Bond, and certificates of insurance within fourteen calendar days from receipt of the Notice of Award. The anticipated contract duration is 270 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The winning bid was accepted in the amount of $1,034,481. The award was made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the City of Sanford reserving the right to waive formalities and reject any or all bids. The project requires compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations and precise utility coordination with existing municipal sanitary sewer infrastructure, including integration with an 8-foot diameter wet well and 6-inch force mains. Bidders were required to demonstrate proper licensing, professional qualifications, and ability to meet stringent insurance and bonding requirements. The procurement encouraged participation from Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE), though no specific incumbent vendor was identified for this replacement infrastructure project.
