Majette Lift Station Repairs

Bay County Board of County Commissioners is requesting bids on lift station upgrades at Majette Park under ITB 26-60, with bids due October 6, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 10, 2026. Bidders must hold Florida licenses as General Contractors or Mechanical Contractors, with all subcontractors properly licensed in their respective trades — a core eligibility requirement.

Work includes retrofitting the existing lift station and rerouting to the existing 6-inch force main on Old Majette Tower Road, performed in accordance with Panhandle Engineering Construction Plans. The contract term is 90 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for work not completed by the specified deadline. The County will retain 5% retainage at its discretion, and final payment is due within 30 days after project completion and acceptance. The vendor must furnish a one-year warranty on all workmanship and materials beginning at final payment.

A bid bond equal to 5% of the proposed base bid must accompany each submission. Required insurance and public construction bonds are detailed in the contract exhibits. Bids must be submitted electronically via OpenGov Procurement or as sealed paper bids by 2:00 p.m. CDT, with public opening immediately following. Payment follows the Florida Prompt Payment Act, with monthly invoicing permitted for satisfactorily completed work.

All bidders must comply with Florida statutory requirements for employment eligibility verification, foreign entity concerns, human trafficking attestations, scrutinized companies certifications, and conflict of interest disclosures. Questions are due in writing by 5:00 p.m. CDT on September 25, 2026. The recommended award date is October 20, 2026. An optional site visit is available immediately following the pre-bid meeting.
