Pump and filtration equipment specifications include pitot tube insertion flow meters (Blue-White Industries models F-300, D-300, U-300 series), No-Niche ABS skimmers, variable frequency drives (Yaskawa GA500 AC), fiberglass side-mount media filters (Waterco HRVR series), metering pumps (Stenner 45 and 85 series), multiport valves (Waterco), glycerine-filled stainless steel pressure gauges, and bimetal hot water thermometers. All pricing must include labor, materials, equipment, mobilization, and bonding in a single lump-sum amount submitted on the provided Bid Price Sheet.

Performance and Payment Bonds equal to one hundred percent of the total accepted bid are required unless the contract value does not exceed $200,000, in which case the City may waive this requirement at its discretion. Volusia County must be listed as an additional obligee on required bonds. Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Business Auto Liability of $1,000,000 per accident, and Workers' Compensation insurance in accordance with Florida statutory requirements are mandatory.
