Construction of Homestead Water Supply Well No. 7

The City of Homestead has issued Invitation to Bid ITB#202632 for the construction of Water Supply Well No. 7 at the Harris Field Water Treatment Facility. This infrastructure project aims to enhance the reliability and resiliency of the city water supply by adding a third well to provide critical backup capacity and redundancy. The new well is designed to support the Racetrack Water Tower Booster Pump Station to maintain system pressure during high-demand events, such as NASCAR races, and will allow existing wells to be rotated for maintenance without reducing production capacity. The project scope includes drilling a 20-inch cased well, constructing a pump house, installing a standby generator, and performing site restoration, piping, and paving repairs. The solicitation was posted on August 28, 2026, with a response deadline of September 29, 2026. The estimated total cost for the project is 3,436,371.58 dollars, which includes a 10 percent contingency. Qualified Florida contractors must adhere to strict safety qualifications, particularly those working near chlorine systems, and must submit a Contractor Safety Qualification Form to avoid disqualification. The contract is governed by the City of Homestead's Special Provisions for Construction Contracts and is supported by technical drawings from Hazen and Sawyer and funding related to grant LPA0017. Bidders are required to sign a site visit indemnification agreement and provide necessary bond forms as part of the submission process.
