About this opportunity
This state and local contracting opportunity is for the Characterization of Urban Runoff Water Quality in Upper St. Johns River-Lake Watersheds, issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District in the state of Florida. The work entails the collection of surface water quality samples from canals and urban streams, focusing on the time-critical phase of runoff following storm events or during prolonged high flow to assess potential nutrient mobility. Two approaches will be used - storm runoff grab sampling at sites in Central and South-Central Florida, and automated sampling at sites anticipated for more detailed watershed studies. The District is seeking respondents with relevant experience and qualifications, including minimum project references. The District's Evaluation Committee will meet to evaluate, rank, and negotiate with the top-ranked Respondent. The estimated budget for the project is $200,000, to be split across three fiscal years, and is subject to the District's Governing Board budgetary appropriation. Proposals are due by 2:00 pm on January 13, 2023.
The procurement does not appear to include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The District has not provided information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is estimated at $200,000.
Opportunity text
This work entails the collection of surface water quality samples from canals and urban streams. The sampling emphasizes the time-critical phase of runoff following storm events or during prolonged high flow associated with high cumulative rainfall totals to focus on the conditions that are most conducive to potential nutrient mobility. Two approaches will be employed for the sample and data collection:
- Storm runoff grab sampling will be performed at sites located in Central and South-Central Florida. Data collected under this regimen will create a data set representative of the water chemistry that constitutes the greater proportion of constituent load. For general planning purposes, storm grab samples are typically collected within 24 hours of the initiation of rainfall, though timing can depend on the size and flashiness of the watershed.
- Sites that are anticipated to be associated with more detailed studies in their watersheds are to be instrumented with automated samplers to distinguish the changes in constituent concentrations through seasonal changes and within the storm hydrograph rising limb, peak flow and falling limb. Some of these sites may also be instrumented with rainfall and discharge sensors to calculate precipitation totals and runoff volume.
