The Bay County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting statements of qualifications from professional engineering firms to provide preliminary engineering, design, permitting, construction plans, specifications, and bidding assistance for two new booster pumping stations and two 5.0-million-gallon prestressed concrete ground storage tanks. The project aims to enhance system resilience and redundancy during storm and emergency conditions, ensuring sustained pressure, distribution storage, and disinfection capabilities during power or supply losses. Key deliverables include preliminary engineering reports, geotechnical investigations, and the acquisition of necessary FDEP, NWPWMD, and NPDES permits. Design standards must adhere to AWWA D110, ACI 350/350.3, ACI 372R, and Ten States Standards, while security and safety must comply with AWIA, AWWA, and OSHA requirements. Contracts will be awarded to the two highest-ranking responsive and responsible respondents based on a multi-stage evaluation process involving initial scoring, shortlisting, and potential interviews. This is a cost-reimbursement agreement where payment is contingent upon annual legislative appropriations and the written acceptance of deliverables by the Department's Grant Manager. Failure to meet deliverable deadlines may result in a 1% daily reduction in invoices. The solicitation requires compliance with the Build America Buy America Act, Title VI, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Submittals must be received by 2:00 PM CST on December 15, 2026, via the OpenGov portal or physical delivery to the Purchasing Department in Panama City, Florida.
