Stormwater Cleaning and Inspection Services 2025

The City of St. Pete Beach in Pinellas County, Florida, is seeking proposals for comprehensive stormwater cleaning and inspection services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) released on August 6, 2025. The procurement targets experienced companies capable of conducting CCTV inspection and cleaning services for approximately 18 miles of stormwater drainage pipes ranging from 6-inch to 68-inch diameter, primarily composed of reinforced concrete pipe. Key deliverables include cleaning and removing sand, grit, and debris deposited by Hurricane Helene, performing closed circuit television inspections, managing traffic control, and conducting site restoration. Contractors must be NASSCO PACP and MACP certified, demonstrating at least five years of specialized experience in sewer cleaning and televising. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with all questions due by September 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Proposals are due on September 10, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST, with a public bid opening immediately following at 10:30 AM.

The contract will have a three-year term with two potential one-year renewal options. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, contractors must provide performance bonds for contracts exceeding $100,000 and maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance. The city will provide water for cleaning operations and handle dried debris disposal, while contractors are responsible for transporting and properly disposing of excess water. No incumbent vendors were explicitly identified in the documentation. Although a precise contract value was not specified, the detailed fee schedules suggest a comprehensive pricing structure with rates for various pipe diameter configurations, specialty cleaning services, and access structure inspections. The procurement appears to be an emergency response contract aimed at restoring the stormwater system to pre-storm conditions following Hurricane Helene's damage.
