RFQ_24_25-10_Attachment_3_-_SMWTP_Technical_Requirements.pdf

This is a Technical Requirements attachment for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Sanford, Florida, for design-build services to improve the Main Water Treatment Plant. The project aims to remove various contaminants, including 1,4-Dioxane and PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), from the water treatment system. The project is structured as a multi-phase initiative, with the award contingent upon the City securing sufficient funding. The RFQ is being administered in accordance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, and will include initial screening, ranking, final ranking, and contract negotiations phases. During the competitive negotiations phase, the selected vendor will be required to establish both a guaranteed maximum price and a guaranteed completion date.

The estimated total budget for both phases of the project is $48.5 million, to be funded through a State of Florida Revolving Fund loan. At the time of RFQ issuance, the City had not yet secured all necessary funding. As a design-build procurement, qualified vendors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in both design and construction delivery for water treatment infrastructure improvements, with specific technical expertise in contaminant removal technologies and processes relevant to the stated project goals.
