About this opportunity

The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority is requesting proposals for a wireless monitoring system serving its vacuum sanitary sewer system under RFP FKAA-RFP-0004-26, with proposals due September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. Proposers must be direct manufacturers of the vacuum interface valves and controllers; assemblers or contractors will not be considered.

Proposer qualifications are stringent and decision-flipping. Each proposer must demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous experience in vacuum sanitary sewer monitoring system design, deployment, and maintenance, including at least two years with the exact system proposed. Proposers must provide evidence of at least ten fully deployed systems exact or very similar to the proposed system and at least 5,000 vacuum sanitary sewer pits utilizing the same monitoring system. The proposed monitoring system must have been developed and maintained in-house by the valve manufacturer; third-party interface applications are not permitted.

The scope encompasses installation of monitoring interface and connectivity software, gateway assemblies, rain meters, valve pit monitoring bundles, monitoring install kits, vacuum sensor kits, pedestals, controllers, and remote mount controller kits serving approximately 128 vacuum pits across two service areas: Bay Point (109 pits) and Bluewater (19 pits) on Lower Sugarloaf Key. The FKAA will self-perform conduit installation, pedestal installation, and monitoring component installation; the proposer is responsible for providing training on controller and pedestal installation and monitoring system software operation. The contract period extends from award until project completion, anticipated at approximately 18 months.

Pricing must include detailed line-item cost estimates for all products and services, warranty terms, lead times, and annual subscription costs for software, royalties, data storage, and service agreements. Pricing must remain valid for two years. Evaluation is weighted: technical compliance 30 percent, qualifications and experience 30 percent, pricing 30 percent, references 5 percent, and prior work history with FKAA 5 percent. Award follows Board of Directors approval and successful contract negotiation. Proposals are submitted electronically via DemandStar.com.
