Installation of New Propane Tank

The City of Pembroke Pines in Broward County, Florida, is seeking bids for the installation of a turnkey propane autogas vehicle fueling facility through Invitation for Bid (IFB # CS-25-02). The project involves furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, services, and incidentals to install a 5,000-gallon propane tank and dispenser, which must be integrated into the city's existing FUELMASTER fuel management system. Qualified firms are required to complete the installation at 901 Poinciana Drive, with a project timeline of 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 23, 2025, with questions due by September 29, 2025. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 14, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a bid opening at 2:30 pm. Bidders with a total cumulative base proposal exceeding $200,000 will be required to submit a Proposal Security of 5% of the total base amount, and Payment and Performance Bonds will be required for contracts over $200,000.

The City encourages bids from local vendors, veteran-owned small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and other specified vendor classifications, potentially offering preference points or percentages for these categories. Bidders must comply with various requirements, including E-Verify system registration and background screening for charter school work. The project will integrate with an existing Syntech Fuel Controller, and the installation will include a 20' x 10' x 6" thick concrete pad, 4" diameter yellow bollards, and a 6' high chain link fence with double swing gate. The estimated project cost is $350,000, with the city planning to waive certain permit fees and cover external permit fees through the Owner's Contingency. Contractors must adhere to local, state, and federal regulations, including Davis-Bacon labor standards, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage as detailed in the Sample Insurance Certificate, which requires naming the City of Pembroke Pines as an additional insured.
