About this opportunity
Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) is seeking qualified vendors to provide horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services for an infrastructure project covering multiple utility installations in Alachua County, Florida. The procurement focuses on underground utility line installation, including water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications conduits, with a primary objective of precise drilling beneath existing surface obstacles like roadways and environmentally sensitive areas. The contract, numbered 2025-103, requires vendors to demonstrate expertise with modern HDD equipment, possess a proven track record of successful complex projects, and maintain strong commitments to safety and quality control. The solicitation was released on September 5, 2025, with a deadline for questions on September 16, 2025, and a response deadline of September 30, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Vendors will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, experience, safety records, and ability to perform complex underground utility installations, with the contract term spanning from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2028, and potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods.
The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does include comprehensive insurance requirements of $2,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Automobile Liability, and statutory Workers' Compensation coverage. Vendors must provide extensive documentation, including business registration, experience modification rate documentation, OSHA forms, contractor references, staffing and equipment plans, and a bid bond of 5% of the proposed price. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the contract includes a detailed pricing structure with unit pricing for various pipe sizes and materials, including polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and ductile iron pipes. The pricing form covers multiple utility categories and includes line-item pricing for pipe lengths, casing, conduits, and additional services like premium work hours, emergency mobilization, pipe fusing, testing, rock removal, and traffic control. Though specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive pricing schedule suggests a potentially significant infrastructure investment with flexibility for various project scales and utility installation requirements.
