Eglin Parkway Lift Station Replacement

Okaloosa County, Florida is requesting bids on the Eglin Parkway Lift Station Replacement project, with bids due July 29, 2026. The scope encompasses site preparation, installation of a corrosion-proof polymer concrete precast wet well using the caisson method with tremie pour bottom seal, and furnishing and installation of two approximately 34 horsepower submersible, heavy-duty, explosion-proof, non-clog sewer pumps.

Wet well work includes clearing and grubbing, erosion and sedimentation control, excavation for a shaft extending approximately 26 feet below existing grade, assembly and sealing of precast sections with retainer straps and watertight joints, tremie seal concrete pour, secondary bottom pour with chamfered edges, buoyancy calculations, watertightness testing, and backfilling. The geotechnical report (dated April 30, 2026) documents subsurface conditions suitable for construction: 11 inches of topsoil over sand to 46 feet depth, with groundwater at 6 feet below grade requiring dewatering outside the excavation. Backfill requires well-graded crushed stone where loose soils are encountered, with compaction verification through in-place nuclear density testing. The report recommends on-site involvement of a geotechnical engineer during construction.

Pump installation includes base elbows, stainless steel discharge piping, guide rail system, pump control panel, and all appurtenances. The lift station will be located approximately 70 feet northwest of the existing generator building along the south side of Eglin Parkway (SR 85) in Fort Walton Beach. Bidders must comply with all contract documents, plans, and specifications. No estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent information, set-asides, preferences, evaluation criteria, or question deadline is stated in the source materials.
