About this opportunity

Orange County, Florida is soliciting sealed bids for the Bithlo Rural Area Water Phase 1 West project (Y24-721), a critical water infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves extending potable water service to customers in the Bithlo Rural Settlement area, with the project covering approximately 29,250 linear feet of water main ranging from 4-inch to 12-inch diameter within county right-of-way. The project includes one directional drill and three jack & bore installations, and is structured with a base bid for the West Phase and five potential additive phases for specific areas. Electronic bids will be accepted through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform until 4:00 pm EST on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, with an estimated project cost of $15,360,305.49. Potential bidders must create a free account on the platform and submit all materials electronically, with a question and answer period closing on Monday, October 9, 2023 at 5:00 pm EST. Bidders are prohibited from hand-delivering, mailing, faxing, or emailing offers, and must utilize the designated electronic submission platform.

The project is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, which mandates adherence to Davis-Bacon wage requirements for projects exceeding $10 million. Residents currently using private wells will have the option to connect to the new water main, with the contractor responsible for potentially abandoning existing wells or installing backflow prevention. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the technical specifications provide detailed requirements for pipe materials, installation methods, testing, and disinfection. The project offers potential contractors an opportunity to work on a significant infrastructure improvement in Orange County, with a substantial budget that suggests complex engineering and construction requirements. Technical support for the bidding process is available through multiple channels, including chat, email (support@procurenow.com), and phone (1-855-680-4747) during business hours. The county emphasizes that it will not be responsible for submission delays caused by network issues, bandwidth problems, internet outages, or technical difficulties.
