South Cross Actuator RCW570 bypass SP 12845

Pinellas County is conducting an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) #23-0655-ITQ for a critical infrastructure replacement project at the St. Pete Beach Reclaim Water Booster Station located at 7581 Boca Ciega Drive. The procurement seeks a replacement actuator for RCW #570 bypass, specifically an Auma Part Number SA07.2/AM01.1 Product Configuration (9714487_SA07.1), with a quantity of one unit. The project also requires field service installation assistance and start-up support. Key objectives include replacing a failing actuator that is not properly opening or closing the bypass valve, which could potentially cause damage to the motor and/or pump. Vendors must submit responses electronically through the OpenGov procurement website by May 11, 2023, at 3:00 pm, with a question submission deadline of May 9, 2023. Interested vendors are required to contact South Cross representatives Travis Jones or Ron Moretuzzo to schedule a mandatory site visit for repair and installation. Evaluation criteria will likely include compliance with technical specifications, vendor qualifications, pricing, and ability to meet insurance requirements.

The solicitation includes several vendor restrictions and requirements, including mandatory registration with the Florida Division of Corporations and compliance with e-verify regulations. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance documentation, including commercial general liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. The county appears to have small business enterprise considerations, potentially providing opportunities for disadvantaged businesses. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors are invited to quote unit costs for the Auma actuator and field service installation. The procurement documents also offer an optional electronic payment (ePayables) program, allowing vendors to choose faster payment processing methods. Additional compliance requirements include adherence to county policies regarding ethics, public records, and contractor responsibilities. Vendors must submit a completed vendor references form demonstrating previous experience with similar commercial or governmental contracts.
