Brevard County Purchasing Services is soliciting bids for site development and improvements at Wells 12 and 13, a comprehensive water infrastructure project for the Utilities Services Department. The procurement (Bid #B-7-25-52) involves installing new driveways, fencing, gates, well pumps, discharge piping, pump control panels, SCADA control panels, alarm lights, standby generators, and LED light fixtures at both well sites. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and demonstrate compliance with Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) provisions, E-Verify registration, and comprehensive insurance coverage. The project requires substantial completion within 420 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion 30 calendar days after substantial completion. The bid was released on June 13, 2025, with a bid opening date of July 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM. Although the originally scheduled pre-bid meeting on June 18, 2025, was canceled, bidders are required to submit detailed qualification documents, references, and various attestation forms. Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permits have already been secured for the project, with specific requirements for water system construction and operational standards.

The contract does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The estimated project budget is $1,445,860.00, and it will be awarded as a lump sum contract with liquidated damages of $1,685.00 per calendar day for missed milestone deadlines. Contractors must comply with local, state, and federal regulations, including provisions for performance and public construction bonds. The project involves installing two 12-inch groundwater wells with Grundfos submersible pumps rated at 318 gpm, located along Indian River Parkway in Viera, Florida. Specific technical requirements mandate that all products must be produced domestically, with an approved manufacturers list limiting selections to U.S.-based producers. The wells have received permits from the St. Johns River Water Management District and include comprehensive technical, operational, and compliance requirements. Tetra Tech serves as the engineering consultant, and the project emphasizes strict quality control, with a two-year warranty period commencing upon final acceptance.
