Cleaning and Pumping of Stormwater Sediment Removal Structures

Orange County, Florida is seeking sealed bids for a term contract to provide cleaning and pumping services for stormwater sediment removal structures through Invitation for Bids (IFB) #Y22-198-MV. The procurement targets comprehensive maintenance of nine Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS) units, two Modular Wetlands, six Nutrient Separating Baffle (NSB) boxes, and one Sediment Sump located throughout the county. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience in cleaning stormwater sediment removal structures and submit detailed reference documentation. Electronic bids will be accepted until 4:00 PM EST on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, exclusively through the OpenGov Procurement portal, with no alternative submission methods permitted. The contract will have an initial one-year term with potential for four additional one-year renewals, and the County's Project Manager will schedule individual cleanouts on an as-needed basis. Bid responses must include unit pricing for cleaning and pumping (300 hours), liquid material disposal (200,000 gallons), solid material disposal (200 cubic yards), emergency call-outs (2 each), and unit inspections (100 each). The County will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement includes potential preferences for Minority Women Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Registered Service Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses within specified bid amount ranges. Bidders are required to submit several compliance documents, including a drug-free workplace form, conflict of interest statement, and e-verification certification. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive scope of services suggests a substantial contract value covering multiple stormwater infrastructure cleaning requirements. The solicitation appears open to qualified private contractors with demonstrated expertise in stormwater infrastructure maintenance, with no apparent restrictions limiting participation beyond standard business qualifications and experience requirements. Prospective bidders must carefully review all documentation and meet the technical and administrative requirements to be considered for the contract, which emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation and compliance with all specified submission guidelines.
