30'' PCCP Sewer Force Main Replacement

The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida, is soliciting bids for the replacement of a 30-inch Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) sewer force main, with a estimated contract value between $4.15 million and $4.57 million. The project includes the removal and abandonment of existing 14-inch and 30-inch force mains, installation of new 30-inch DIPS HDPE DR11 pipe and associated fittings, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining of 8-inch vitrified clay pipe, and installation of new 8-inch PVC DR18 pipe with fittings. Work also encompasses mobilization, erosion and sedimentation control, traffic maintenance, and proper disposal of debris, with all materials required to be new, of the highest grade, and conforming to industry standards such as C900 PVC DR18 and 316L schedule 40 piping. Performance is to be completed at various locations within the city, with delivery terms specified as F.O.B. destination, meaning costs and risks are the contractor’s responsibility until the materials are delivered on-site. The contract has a submission deadline of May 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with bids to be submitted exclusively via the City’s e-Procurement Portal, and a bid opening scheduled for the same day at 2:30 PM at the City Clerk’s Office. The procurement is governed by comprehensive compliance, insurance, and workforce requirements. Contractors must carry minimum general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, naming the City as an additional insured, and must provide proof before work begins. All personnel must be verified using E-Verify, and subcontractors must provide affidavits of compliance. Non-discrimination and affirmative action policies are strictly enforced, with requirements extending to employment, training, and subcontracting practices. The contractor must also comply with HUD Section 3 regulations, which mandate the participation of low- and very low-income individuals in employment, training, and contracting opportunities tied to this federally assisted project. Indemnification obligations are broad, requiring the contractor to defend and hold the City harmless from all claims arising from performance, regardless of insurance limits. Evaluation will be based on the most advantageous bid to the City—not necessarily the lowest—and the award will consider technical merit, experience, and overall value. Submission materials include background information forms, bid bonds or cashier’s checks, and socioeconomic certifications, with vendors required
