Installation of Experimental Beds for Filtration Media and Decommission

The University of Central Florida, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering, is seeking services for the installation of an experimental filtration system filled with designated sorption media for pollutant removal testing, maintenance of the system, and decommissioning services after the completion of the testing. The proposed system will extract water from the C-23 Canal using four 30-gpm submersive pumps and deliver it to four infiltration cells filled with either CPS or ZIPGEM sorption media. The system will include various monitoring and control components, such as flowmeters, water level sensors, and a cellular telemetry system for remote monitoring and control. Bids are due on July 15, 2022 at 3:00 PM EST, and the contract will commence around July 25, 2022 and end upon successful completion of the site decommissioning, which is expected to take 1-2 years. Bidders must have a minimum of 5 years of experience in the required services and provide documentation of their qualifications. The contract may be renewed up to 5 years or twice the length of the original term.

Florida businesses and businesses with a principal place of business in Florida may receive price preferences in the evaluation. The contract value was not specified, but the successful bidder will be responsible for the installation and 1-year warranty on the pumping systems, as well as pricing for the decommissioning services after project completion. There were no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no information was provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
