Miscellaneous Mechanical Maintenance Services for AWTP (Bid Discount) (Re-Bid)

The City of Tampa's Wastewater Department is requesting sealed bids for miscellaneous mechanical maintenance services at the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant and various wastewater pumping stations, with bids due September 3, 2026, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection on August 18, 2026. A Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) certification bid discount of five percent (not to exceed $10,000) is available for evaluation purposes only.

The scope encompasses as-needed maintenance on piping (stainless, ductile, cast iron, HDPE, and steel), structural fabrication, rigging, precision alignments, and motor and solenoid valve installation and disconnection. All work must meet or exceed ASME standards and good maintenance practices. Place of performance includes the AWTP at 2700 Maritime Blvd, Tampa, Florida, and subordinate City wastewater pumping stations.

The contract term is one year from the effective date of award, with four optional one-year renewal periods by mutual written agreement and unilateral City extension rights for up to three additional thirty-day periods. Bid pricing must be firm on an as-needed, when-needed basis with no minimum or maximum purchase requirements; all shipping costs, taxes, and royalties must be included.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The City reserves the right to award by division, aggregate total, or in part, and may cancel the award with ten days' written notice for cause or thirty days' written notice without cause. Attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection is a condition of bid eligibility; bidders who fail to attend are ineligible.

Bidders must demonstrate Florida business registration, E-Verify compliance, and provide documentation of litigation history, financial condition, and criminal history screening practices. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), Automobile Liability ($500,000 to $1 million combined single limit), and Worker's Compensation coverage. The City is not required to purchase any minimum quantities. Eligible Hillsborough County Government Purchasing Council members may utilize this award under their own contracts and terms.
