Brevard County Derelict Vessel Removal Project

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive pricing for the Brevard County Derelict Vessel Removal Project. The purpose of this Invitation to Bid (ITB) is to obtain services for the removal, destruction, and disposal of 10 derelict vessels within Brevard County, Florida. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the work, including staging, transport, decontamination, disposal, and environmental protection measures. The project must be completed within 120 days of the issuance of the Purchase Order. The bid has a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on June 1, 2022, and sealed bids are due by June 24, 2022, with an anticipated award date of June 29, 2022. The Commission encourages participation by minority, women, and veteran-owned business enterprises. Funding for this project is provided by the State of Florida.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Commission provides an addendum to the ITB that clarifies the requirement for derelict vessels to be removed from the water before being disassembled and the contractor's responsibility for selecting and preparing an approved DDMS (Derelict and Displaced Marine Structures) site for staging the vessels. There is no information provided regarding any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for this project is not explicitly stated.
