About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is seeking sealed offers through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) #Y24-1102 for Operation and Service of Small Water and Wastewater Plants. The procurement covers comprehensive water and wastewater treatment plant services across multiple county facilities, including Trimble Park, Zellwood Highway Maintenance, Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge Center, various fire stations, and Moss Park. The contractor will be responsible for providing licensed operators, tools, equipment, chemicals, testing, training, consulting, and technical support for eight water treatment systems and one wastewater treatment plant. Key deliverables include 24/7 maintenance, daily/weekly/monthly operational checks, regulatory compliance, comprehensive documentation, and adherence to Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations. The solicitation requires bidders to submit detailed qualifications demonstrating water treatment system maintenance experience, operator licenses, and compliance documentation. Electronic responses must be submitted via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by February 18, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST, with a pre-solicitation virtual meeting scheduled for January 30, 2025, at 9:00 am.

The contract is a five-year term divided into two lots: Lot A for Facilities Management and Lot B for Fire Rescue, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. The fee schedule includes monthly operation and maintenance costs, labor rates for standard and non-standard hours, and emergency labor, with additional service budgets for laboratory sample testing and unforeseen fees. Contractors can procure parts and materials with a maximum 10% mark-up and must provide unit pricing and percentage discounts. The contract allows for potential price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) and requires comprehensive insurance coverage. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the solicitation emphasizes strict compliance requirements, including anti-human trafficking provisions and employment eligibility verification. The contractor must provide a 24-hour point of contact and maintain a minimum staffing of one supervisor and two technicians. Though specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a substantial contract value covering multiple facilities and extensive operational requirements.
