Respondents must not appear on the State of Florida Convicted Vendor List, State of Florida Suspended Vendor List, or City of Jacksonville Disqualified Vendor List, and must not have had a JEA contract terminated for default within the past two years. Optional use of Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business (JSEB) certified firms is encouraged but not required. Award will be based on lowest responsive and responsible bid price.

The new valves will replace existing Henry Pratt Triton XR-70 valves and are critical for controlling condenser cooling water flow, facilitating reverse-flow backwashing, and preventing leakage that can result in pump reverse rotation.

Face-to-face dimension is 15.00 inches ±0.06 inches. Valves must pair with Limitorque MXB20 electric actuators (3-phase, 60 Hz, 480 VAC) and WG751SDB gearboxes configured for a 105-second valve stroke time with 10 percent maximum deviation. Each valve includes a 5-year warranty against defects and lining failure, plus a minimum one-year contractor installation warranty. Vendor is responsible for safe shipment, storage, and handling with factory testing documentation (hydrostatic, leakage, and operational testing per AWWA C504-06), certified drawings, material certifications, and a detailed project schedule within two weeks of award.
