About this opportunity

The City of Ocala is seeking a qualified vendor to provide maintenance and support for its Laboratory Deionized Water System through Request for Quotation (RFQ) #WRS/250636. The procurement spans Marion County and involves the Water Quality Laboratory located at 4200 SE 24th St, Ocala, FL, with a primary objective of maintaining a high-purity water system critical for laboratory testing and regulatory certifications. The successful vendor must furnish all labor, equipment, and materials to support an existing deionized water system, with key deliverables including monthly water treatment of 800-1,200 gallons, semi-annual filter replacements (5 micron and 0.2 micron filters), and ensuring water quality meets Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater specifications. Vendor qualifications include a minimum of three years of experience with deionized water systems. The contract has an initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals, beginning October 1, 2025. Proposal submissions are due by May 15, 2025, with the RFQ posted on May 1, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The vendor must perform at least 30% of work with their own forces and require advance approval for any subcontractors. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for commercial general liability and $1,000,000 combined commercial automotive liability. The annual estimated contract value involves approximately 13,000 gallons of deionized water, with pricing structured as a unit cost per gallon of water treatment, inclusive of routine maintenance and filter replacements. Price increases for contract renewals are limited to 3% annually and must be justified using the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates an existing deionized water system that requires ongoing maintenance and support. Invoicing will be conducted monthly, with original invoices submitted to the Compliance Monitoring Division's Project Manager.
