Black Creek Water Resource Development Pump Station Project Construction

This Invitation for Bids (IFB) is for the Black Creek Water Resource Development Pump Station Project Construction in Clay County, Florida. The project involves constructing a masonry pump station with four vertical turbine variable frequency drive pumps, a raw water intake structure in the South Fork of Black Creek, sitework, an intake piping system, concrete work, mechanical piping, instrumentation, and electrical components. The pump station will have the capability to draw up to 10 million gallons per day (MGD) of water from Black Creek. Subsequent solicitations will include purchasing and installing approximately 17 miles of 30-inch ductile iron pipe to transport water from the pump station to Alligator Creek. The estimated construction cost range is $10,000,000 to $14,000,000, and the contract term is 475 days from the effective date. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 23, 2022, and bids are due by June 9, 2022.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The funding for the project will come from the St. Johns River Water Management District's budget over multiple fiscal years, and the District has included a $300,000 Supplemental Work Allowance to cover contractor activities not included in the original scope of work.
