Wtp #1 Wellfield Expansion: Equip Sw-147 And Sw-148 And New Raw Water Main

The City of Palm Coast has issued a solicitation seeking qualified contractors to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and related services required to install approximately 955 feet of 8-inch HDPE pipe and 965 feet of 6-inch PVC raw water main pipe. The scope includes three directional drills, valves, connections, and restoration work, as well as the equipping of two potable water supply wells (SW-147 and SW-148) and the provision of two generators. This project, identified under solicitation number ITB-UT-26-07 and posted on November 12, 2025, involves complex water infrastructure enhancements aimed at expanding the WTP #1 wellfield capacity. Proposals must be submitted by December 18, 2025, and participation is open to contractors capable of meeting all technical and regulatory requirements for this water main and wellfield expansion. The procurement process emphasizes strict compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, including adherence to the New Jersey labor statutes where subcontractor registrations and certifications are mandatory, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements must be met. Though the solicitation primarily references the Palm Coast jurisdiction in Florida, many supporting documents and compliance forms pertain to standards and procedures from New Jersey’s public works environment, including bidder qualifications, subcontractor identification under N.J.S.A. 40A:11-16, proof of insurance experience, non-collusion certificates, and debarment affidavits. Contractors are required to demonstrate experience with similar-scale projects, maintain proper registrations, and provide performance guarantees such as surety bonds. The evaluation criteria prioritize responsibility, responsiveness, qualifications, and price, with awards made on a lowest responsible, responsive basis. While no specific Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses or contract type (e.g., firm-fixed-price or IDIQ) are detailed, procedural instructions mandate thorough proposal completion, acknowledgment of addenda, and submission of legally binding certifications. The overall project delivery location is within the state of Florida, consistent with the wellfield expansion, though many administrative forms are modeled on New Jersey requirements, suggesting standardized procurement documentation templates. Payment and invoicing details remain general, with no explicit electronic submission portals or invoicing systems identified. Contractors must maintain compliance with prevailing wage laws, ensure proper quality control and inspection protocols, and fulfill all insurance and bonding requirements to be considered for contract award.
