Mechanical Integrity Test of Deep Injection Wells IW-1, IW-2, IW-3, and IW-4 at the South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant

The City of Hollywood is soliciting competitive bids for Mechanical Integrity Testing (MIT) of four deep injection wells—IW-1, IW-2, IW-3, and IW-4—located at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP), which has a permitted capacity of 55.5 million gallons per day. This testing is required in compliance with Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-528, mandating mechanical integrity verification every five years for deep injection wells. The testing scope includes video surveys, injection casing pressure testing, temperature logging, and radioactive tracer surveys to assess both internal and external well integrity. A comprehensive MIT Plan and technical specifications have been prepared by Brown and Caldwell with subconsultant McNabb-Miller Hydrogeologic Consulting, Inc., who will also provide professional services during the testing process. Testing must be completed and documented to the satisfaction of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Underground Injection Control program and coordinated with relevant City and regulatory personnel. The solicitation, issued under IFB-370-26-JJ, outlines strict requirements for bid preparation, including detailed forms addressing vendor qualifications, subcontractor listings, non-collusion, drug-free workplace certification, debarment status, and safety compliance under Florida law. Bidders must comply with safety regulations, particularly concerning trench safety and hazardous operations, and provide requisite bonds including payment and performance bonds. The contract sets firm deadlines, including proposal submission by December 30, 2025, and requires all work to be substantially complete within 90 days and fully completed within 105 days from award. The project budget is approximately $209,375, covering labor, subcontractor costs, mobilization, testing, and reporting. The award process considers proposer qualifications, technical approach, and pricing, with an emphasis on responsiveness and value rather than lowest cost alone. Inspection and acceptance of completed work will be conducted on-site with final approval contingent on conforming to technical specifications, regulatory approvals, and contractual obligations outlined in the General and Supplementary Conditions. Overall, the contract governs a regulated, multi-disciplinary testing and compliance effort essential for continued operation and environmental assurance of critical water treatment infrastructure.
