Hydrologic Monitoring Infrastructure & Supplementary Water Sampling (Tribe-wide)

The Environmental Resources Department of the Seminole Tribe of Florida is requesting proposals for hydrologic monitoring infrastructure and supplementary water sampling services tribe-wide, with proposals due September 28, 2026 and questions due September 11, 2026. The Tribe offers a 5% preference to qualified Seminole Tribal Member-owned businesses and STOFI-owned businesses on solicitations valued under $5 million.

The scope encompasses installation, commissioning, decommissioning, operation, and maintenance of monitoring stations at canal, ditch, groundwater well, and surface water locations across eight reservation and office locations: Big Cypress, Brighton, Coconut Creek, Hollywood, Lakeland, Fort Pierce, Immokalee, and Tampa. Services include project administration, field services, well infrastructure installation, monitoring station instrumentation, telemetry and power systems, sample collection, delivery, and laboratory analysis, and environmental sampling tasks including soil and groundwater work as required by the Tribe.

Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in providing similar services, maintain appropriate Florida licensure and certifications, and carry commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of $1 million, and workers' compensation as required by law. Services must commence within thirty calendar days of contract execution.

The contract term is three years with renewal capability based on performance or at the Tribe's discretion. Pricing shall remain fixed and firm for a minimum of 180 calendar days from the proposal due date; post-submission price adjustments require written Tribe approval. Evaluation allocates 40 points to pricing and firm rate-sheet completion, 40 points to record of performance and past project history, 10 points to team organization and management, and 10 points to references. The Tribe reserves the right to award to a single or multiple respondents, split awards by category or location, negotiate pricing with the highest-scoring respondent, and rescind awards if awardees are inflexible in agreement negotiations.
