Re-Bid of Professional Engineering Services for Lift Station 2 – Design & Permitting

The City of South Daytona is soliciting professional engineering services under solicitation 26-ITB-012 for the design and permitting of resiliency upgrades to Lift Station 2. This project is funded through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and requires the selected firm to prepare construction documents that ensure flood and wind resiliency consistent with a 500-year storm event. Key technical requirements include elevating critical electrical and control components to at least two feet above the base flood elevation and replacing the existing 60-kW generator with a new 75-kW unit. The scope of work is divided into seven phases, ranging from initial data collection and preliminary design to final permitting and optional construction-phase engineering services. This is a Request for Qualifications where the award is based on a weighted evaluation of relevant experience, project approach, key personnel, FEMA/HMGP expertise, capacity, and references, rather than price alone. Bids are due by September 9, 2026, and must be submitted via the city's e-Procurement Portal or delivered in a sealed package. Awardees must comply with stringent federal and state regulations, including 2 C.F.R. Part 200, the Davis-Bacon Act, and Florida statutory requirements for public entity crimes and drug-free workplaces. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including professional liability of at least 1 million dollars, and mandates the use of E-Verify for all employees and subcontractors.
