Water Treatment Plant Unit B Rehabilitation – Project Manual and Specifications

This project manual contains comprehensive technical specifications and bid documents for the City of Pembroke Pines Water Treatment Plant Unit B Rehabilitation project in Broward County, Florida. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to perform complete renovation of the existing 59-foot-diameter solids contact clarifier/softener treatment unit, including cleaning and removal of tank internals, installation of new mechanical components (radial launders, inner and outer draft tubes, hood structures, rotor-impellers, effluent collection systems), replacement of electrical systems, installation of new access hatches and stairs, surface preparation, and comprehensive interior and exterior painting. The project encompasses removal and reinstallation of internal tank infrastructure, with the existing tank shell, gearbox, and motor to be reused and maintained. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 10:00 am, with questions due by July 29, 2025, and final bid submissions required by August 12, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The project timeline allows 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed for substantial completion, with the estimated budget of $1,700,000 including contingency provisions. Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions will provide a one-year manufacturer warranty for the rehabilitation work contingent on proper installation and operation according to specifications.

Contractor qualifications require successful completion of a minimum of three similar lime softening unit projects within the past ten years and must include an AMPP Level 1 Basic Coatings Inspector on staff for at least six months prior to bidding. Bidders must submit a 5 percent proposal security based on the total cumulative base amount and provide Payment and Performance Bonds covering 100 percent of the contract price.
