About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the City of Sanford, Florida, Purchasing Division, regarding RFQ 24/25-10 for design-build services to improve the Main Water Treatment Plant. The project aims to remove water contaminants including 1,4-Dioxane and PFASs through implementation of an advanced water treatment system featuring ultraviolet light advanced oxidation process, granular activated carbon vessels, hydrogen peroxide storage, and two 0.7-million-gallon ground storage tanks. The RFQ was released on October 15, 2025, with a non-mandatory site visit conducted on October 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Written questions were due by November 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and qualification packages were due by December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Evaluation and selection occurred on January 8, 2026, with Wharton-Smith, Inc. identified as the apparent successful bidder. This Notice of Intent to Award, dated February 11, 2026, is subject to final department approval and does not constitute a binding agreement until a fully executed contract and/or purchase order is completed.
The total estimated project budget for both phases is $48.5 million, funded through a State of Florida Revolving Fund loan. The procurement follows the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act and does not include specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors were required to be authorized to transact business in Florida for at least seven consecutive years and possess either a Certified General Contractor license or professional engineer license in Florida for a minimum of seven years, with at least three professional engineers licensed in Florida specializing in advanced water treatment. The selected vendor will establish a guaranteed maximum price and completion date during contract negotiations. The City reserves the right to cancel the Notice of Intent to Award at any time prior to execution of a written agreement, reject all bids, or award to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder if the apparent successful bidder fails to accept and execute the agreement.
