The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive proposals to mitigate and abate an ongoing calcium scaling issue at the Florida Bass Conservation Center in Sumter County, Florida. The RFP outlines the need for solutions to address the water chemistry and calcium scaling problems at the facility, while minimizing disruptions to water flow and hatchery operations during construction. Respondents are required to submit qualifications, experience, project plans, and detailed budgets, which will be evaluated on factors such as understanding of the problem, personnel qualifications, experience, project plan, and cost.

The anticipated award date is April 23, 2024, and the contract will be effective for one year from the issuance of the Purchase Order.

The Commission has an estimated budget of $75,000 for this project and encourages participation from minority, women, and veteran-owned business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, and no specific technology or infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned. Respondents must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) system and with Sunbiz prior to the proposal submission deadline.
