About this opportunity

Orange County, Florida is seeking sealed bids for the Bithlo Rural Area Water Phase 1 West project (Y23-797), a water infrastructure initiative designed to extend potable water service to approximately 337 residential parcels in the Bithlo Rural Settlement area south of State Road 50. The procurement is being conducted through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, with electronic bid submissions required by July 13, 2023, at 4:00 pm EST. The project involves installing approximately 29,250 linear feet of water main ranging from 4-inch to 12-inch diameter, with options for ductile iron pipe (DIP) or PVC pipe configurations. Key deliverables include water main infrastructure, gate valves, fire hydrants, and service lines, with a substantial completion timeline of 535 consecutive calendar days and a final completion timeline of 565 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must demonstrate comprehensive qualifications, including references for similar pipeline projects, appropriate licenses, insurance, performance bonds, and compliance with federal procurement standards such as E-Verify and Davis-Bacon Act requirements. The project allows for base bids and additive alternates for specific areas including Alison Daphne Circle, Cochran Trail, Evans Trail, Caudel Road, and SR 50.

The procurement appears to have potential set-aside provisions and may prioritize small business subcontracting, with an emphasis on minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation, targeting approximately 5-6% for each project phase. Funding for the project is anticipated to be supported by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which triggers specific federal procurement and reporting requirements. The estimated total project cost is $13,040,106.46, with the base bid at $5,684,136.38, indicating significant investment in rural water infrastructure. Contractors will be responsible for abandoning existing private wells or installing backflow prevention for residents transitioning to the new water main. The project requires strict adherence to technical specifications for pipe materials, installation methods, testing, and documentation, with comprehensive guidelines for excavation, backfilling, disinfection, and location marking. Gate valves included in the project come with a 1-year warranty, and the procurement process emphasizes comprehensive documentation and compliance with federal infrastructure standards.
