Lift Station #62 Replacement Reference Package

This is a reference package document for the City of Daytona Beach, Florida, supporting an Invitation to Bid for the comprehensive replacement of Master Wastewater Lift Station #62. The project encompasses complete demolition and reconstruction of an existing wastewater treatment facility, including construction of a new submersible pump station with a 16-foot inner diameter circular wet well, four pumps (three duty and one standby) equipped with variable frequency drives, an air-conditioned electrical building, pad-mounted transformer, standby generator, pole barn storage structure, new sanitary and rehabilitated existing manholes, gravity sewer pipeline rehabilitation, stainless steel and ductile iron discharge piping, erosion controls, site grading, fencing, and landscaping. The solicitation comprises 20 lump-sum line items with a $10,000 owners allowance for permit fees. The non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, with a question submission deadline of January 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Bid proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov Procurement Platform by February 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with virtual bid opening participation available. Bidders must possess a current Florida General Contractor's License and provide three verifiable references from projects completed within the last ten years, including at least one wastewater lift station project with a 16-foot or greater diameter and one demonstrating complex wetwell excavation techniques.

Bid security equal to 10 percent of the bid amount is required and may be submitted as a bid bond, certified check, cashier's check, irrevocable letter of credit, or money order. Successful bidders will be required to furnish 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds if the contract price exceeds $100,000. The City offers a 10 percent price advantage to qualified local vendors but does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. No incumbent vendor is identified for this project.
