This is a risk management approval email from the Risk Management Division of Bay County, Florida, regarding the West Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Feasibility Study solicitation. The Chief Risk Officer approved the Request for Solicitation and communicated insurance requirements to the Purchasing Department on June 22, 2026. Bay County is requesting qualifications from firms to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for a new wastewater treatment plant that will evaluate treatment technologies, site conditions, environmental constraints, and provide recommendations for design and implementation. Qualifications are due by August 4, 2026.

In addition to standard risk management requirements, Bay County will require bidders to maintain Professional Liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000. Funding for the project may be made possible through a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) agreement (L0138) and is contingent on strict conformance to FDEP guidelines. The risk management approval was a prerequisite step before the solicitation could proceed to the public bidding phase.
