South Beaches Lift Stations B-14, B-18, S-18 & S-29 Rehabilitation

Brevard County Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Utility Services Department, is soliciting bids for the comprehensive rehabilitation of four lift stations located on the South Beaches: B-14, B-18, S-18, and S-29. The project involves installing new pumps, control panels, valves, piping, electrical systems, and SCADA equipment, with a focus on upgrading telemetry infrastructure and replacing existing components. Bidders must provide detailed documentation including a Contractor's Qualification Statement, financial statements, key personnel resumes, and references. The bid (B-7-25-14) was released on October 11, 2024, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 22, 2024, and the bid opening set for November 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM. The project has a total contract time of 150 days (30 days per station and 30 days for final completion), with substantial completion required within 60 days from the Notice to Proceed. Contractors must comply with various regulations, including the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which mandates that all materials be produced in the United States.

Three vendors submitted bids for this project: C&R Technical, LLC from St. Augustine, FL; Hinterland Group, Inc from Cocoa, FL; and Danus Utilities, Inc from Sanford, FL. C&R Technical, LLC was ultimately awarded the contract at $1,343,128.50, significantly lower than the other two bids. The project requires specific insurance coverage, including general liability, auto liability, and workers' compensation policies with minimum coverage amounts. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the bidding process appears open to qualified contractors meeting the technical and financial requirements. The existing infrastructure includes Emerson SCADA controls, and contractors are required to use Emerson Process Management Standard BCUS Control Wave Micro RTU Panel for the project. Additional requirements include potential electrical service modifications, replacing shrubs and light fixtures, and maintaining existing RTU equipment. The project will involve comprehensive rehabilitation of infrastructure components for these South Beaches lift stations, with payment to be made as a single lump sum upon final acceptance by Utility Services.
