The City of Sanford, Florida is soliciting sealed bids (Invitation for Bid No. 24/25-16) for comprehensive repairs to the existing Huber Solar Dryer SRT 11 located at the city's treatment plant. The procurement requires a qualified contractor to perform specific repair and maintenance tasks, including replacing the rotating shovel assembly (Huber part 51433635), replacing all associated sprockets, bearings, and chains, conducting an IGUS energy chain inspection, and performing an overall equipment inspection by Huber factory-trained technicians. Key deliverables include restoring the solar dryer to full operational capabilities while maintaining existing facilities in service and protecting unfinished work. The bid is due on April 24, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. local time, with bidders required to submit sealed proposals to the Purchasing Division at 300 N. Park Avenue, Suite 249 in Sanford. Bidders must download the solicitation document from MyVendorLink and are expected to provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment to complete the repairs. Bidders must currently be doing business with the general public, serving at least three commercial accounts of similar size and scope, and possess a minimum of three consecutive years of verifiable experience. A 5% bid bond or alternative security is required with the proposal, and the successful bidder must provide a performance and payment bond equaling 100% of the total awarded contract amount. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, reserving the right to reject any or all bids. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, bidders must complete various affidavits including drug-free workplace, public entity crimes, and conflict of interest declarations. The contract term is one year from the date of approval and execution, with potential for extension. Although a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the legal notice includes a publishing cost of $140.67, which does not reflect the actual contract value for the solar dryer repairs.
