Convert Submersible Pumps to Axial Flow Pumps at Pump Station 4 - Fellsmere Water Management Area

This Invitation for Bids (IFB) is issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District (the "District") for the conversion of three electric submersible pumps to axial flow pumps at Pump Station 4 in the Fellsmere Water Management Area, located just west of the City of Fellsmere in Indian River County, Florida. The objective is to modify the existing submersible pumps to maintain the new 250 HP horizontal motors above the vertical wet well can. The estimated budget for the project is $350,000. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 6, 2023, and bids are due by 2:00 p.m. on June 15, 2023. The contract term is from the effective date to September 30, 2023. The District estimates the budget for the project to be $350,000, but reserves the right to increase, decrease, or delete any part of the work. Respondents must meet minimum qualifications, including successfully completing at least three similar pump station upgrade projects within the last five years, being ISO 9001 certified, and having at least ten years of relevant experience. The District may award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder or reject all bids if the costs exceed the estimated budget.

The contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total awarded contract value is expected to be approximately $350,000, based on the District's estimated budget for the project.
