Centrifuge Repair, Parts, and Preventative Maintenance Services

Pinellas County Utilities Department is seeking a contractor for Centrifuge Repair, Parts, and Preventative Maintenance Services (Solicitation #24-0664-ITB) for three Alfa Laval DS706 centrifuges located at the South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility. The contract will cover comprehensive repair services, including quarterly vibration analyses, semi-annual full field inspections, and three annual shop/level two tune-ups. Key deliverables include on-site and shop-based repair work, with the contractor responsible for providing all labor, materials, and equipment while adhering to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. The solicitation requires detailed documentation for all work performed, with service categories including repair center work (4,800 hours), on-site service calls (600 hours), overtime/emergency repairs, and refurbishment work. Critical procurement dates include an issue date of May 31, 2024, a question submission deadline of June 5, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of June 13, 2024 at 3:00 pm. The initial contract term is 36 months, with potential for two additional 12-month extensions.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. An estimated total parts value of $460,000 is included, with an additional $100,000 contingency amount. The solicitation requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and excess liability insurance with specific minimum coverage limits. Insurance policies must be from responsible companies authorized to do business in Florida with an AM Best rating of A- VIII or better. A previous repair quote from Synagro-Hypex, LLC indicates typical repair costs around $95,619.63 for comprehensive centrifuge refurbishment, which provides context for potential pricing expectations. The Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form suggests potential complexity in vendor selection, with four committee members involved in reviewing and approving the procurement process. Vendors must provide certificates of insurance naming Pinellas County as an additional insured and maintain primary non-contributory coverage.
