Septic to Distributed Wastewater Treatment System Program

Santa Rosa County is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to deliver a comprehensive turnkey solution for a grant-funded program that converts traditional septic systems to Distributed Wastewater Treatment (DWT) Units. The scope includes verifying hydrological conditions, designing and constructing DWT Units, removing and abandoning existing septic tanks, and managing the entire project in accordance with the terms of the grant agreement between Santa Rosa County and the Northwest Florida Water Management District. Interested vendors must submit proposals by May 20, 2026, with the solicitation posted on April 20, 2026. The project will be performed within Florida, with the county’s administrative office in Milton serving as the official point of contact through its Administrative Services Director and Procurement Department. This initiative aims to address wastewater treatment challenges in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner, leveraging grant funding to implement modern wastewater technology. The contract will require detailed project management to ensure compliance with grant conditions and likely calls for multidisciplinary expertise, encompassing environmental assessment, engineering design, construction, and system commissioning. Vendors should prepare to demonstrate capability in hydrological assessments, septic system decommissioning, and deployment of distributed wastewater treatment solutions to meet both regulatory and environmental goals outlined by Santa Rosa County and the Northwest Florida Water Management District.
