Brevard County Purchasing Services is soliciting bids for the South Central Viera / I-95 Extended Reuse Transmission project, a municipal infrastructure initiative involving the extension of an existing reclaimed water main (RWM) in the Viera area. The project specifics include installing approximately 5,125 feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe and 20-inch HDPE pipe, with a critical crossing beneath Interstate 95 via bore and jack method. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid process (Bid #B7-25-12) with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held on December 10, 2024, and the bid opening scheduled for January 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Bidders must meet specific qualifications, including appropriate licensing, E-Verify participation, and compliance with local and state regulations. The contract duration is anticipated at 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion expected within that timeframe and final completion 30 calendar days thereafter. Required documentation includes a 5% bid bond, performance and construction bonds, shop drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, and as-built drawings.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Four vendors submitted bids for the project, with Atlantic Development of Cocoa ultimately being awarded the entire contract at $3,283,202.25. The other bidders included Cathcart Construction Company ($3,481,906.00), Johnson-Davis, Inc. ($3,513,720.00), and Metro Equipment Service, Inc. ($4,969,618.00). The project will extend the existing reclaimed water infrastructure in Brevard County, with the engineer's estimated project cost at $2,466,834.88. The contract requires domestic production of materials and includes specific technical specifications for pipe installation, including 30-inch steel casings for jack and bore operations. Road closures on Viera Boulevard will be limited to single lane closures from 8 pm to 6 am, and the construction schedule may be flexible, with potential start dates potentially delayed until May due to contract processing and scheduling considerations.
