Trenchless pipe rehabilitation services

The City of Palm Coast in Flagler County, Florida is seeking qualified contractors to provide trenchless pipe rehabilitation services for aging, damaged, and deteriorating stormwater infrastructure. The procurement involves ten specific projects requiring comprehensive rehabilitation of culvert and drainage systems, with services including stormwater culvert inspection, cleaning, pre- and post-work video inspections, and various rehabilitation techniques such as cured-in-place pipe reconstruction, centrifugally cast-in-place structural cement, and slip lining with HDPE pipe. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, supervision, traffic control, materials, equipment, installation, and incidentals to complete the projects. The City will evaluate bids based on overall cost, post-condition flow capacity, and expected life of proposed techniques, with the potential to award projects to a single bidder or distribute individual sites to multiple bidders. Key deadlines include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM, questions due by August 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and bid submissions due September 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Rehabilitation methods must provide fully structural liners with signed and sealed calculations by a Florida Licensed Civil Engineer, and all work must comply with FDOT standards and manufacturer recommendations.

Contractors must be able to perform at least 51% of the work themselves and must possess a valid Florida Contractor's License. For bids totaling $100,000 or greater, a 5% bid bond is required, with performance and payment bonds equal to the contract price to be provided upon award, plus a 10% material and workmanship bond. Contractors may submit multiple bids per project using different lining techniques, including slip-lining, cured-in-place, and spin-casting methods. The contract allows 28 consecutive calendar days for substantial completion at each site, with an additional 7 days for final completion, though the total contract time for multiple projects is not cumulative. Submission requirements include detailed documentation such as Section 00100 Forms, Bidder Bid Form, Florida Contractor's License, and financial statements, to be uploaded through the Bonfire electronic portal. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, contractors must meet comprehensive technical and financial qualifications. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but the comprehensive nature of the project and the multiple sites suggest a significant investment in stormwater infrastructure rehabilitation.
