Environmental Byproducts Compliance Support and Consulting Services

JEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority) is soliciting proposals for environmental consulting services supporting byproduct and solid waste management at the Northside Generating Station and the former St. John's River Power Park, with responses due October 6, 2026, and a mandatory pre-response meeting on September 8, 2026 at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams.

Minimum qualifications require successful completion of at least two similar projects within the past five years involving environmental professional services for byproducts from circulating fluidized bed power generation facilities. JEA encourages but does not require subcontracting with Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business (JSEB) certified firms; JSEB participation is an evaluation criterion worth 10 points.

The scope encompasses design of environmental and material characteristics testing programs; regulatory agency correspondence; preparation of Conceptual Site Models, Site Assessment Work Plans, Site Assessment Reports, and Remediation Plans per Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-780; soil, groundwater, sediment, surface water, and air investigations; treatability study plans and pilot study work plans; fugitive dust characterization studies; groundwater monitoring well design, installation, redevelopment, and sampling; haul road stormwater management plan design; pond liner repair planning and documentation; and technical reports per Florida Administrative Code Chapters 62-701 and 62-17 and the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act. All raw data, aerial photographs, and collected information shall be processed and delivered to JEA in engineered products meeting these specifications.

The initial contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewal periods at JEA's discretion. Pricing is negotiated under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (Florida Statute Section 287.055); the first year is firm fixed, with potential CPI adjustments thereafter capped at 3% annually. JEA reserves the right to award one or multiple contracts. Evaluation criteria are professional staff experience (25 points), design approach and workplan (20 points), company experience (35 points), project manager proximity to Jacksonville (10 points), and JSEB participation (10 points). Required insurance includes commercial general liability ($1 million each occurrence, $2 million annual aggregate), professional liability ($1 million each claim, $2 million aggregate), and excess liability ($1 million).
