Commercial and Institutional Building Construction
The City of Orlando is seeking professional engineering design services for a flood mitigation project focused on the evaluation and relocation of 13 drainage wells located in low-to-moderate income urbanized areas. Funded by the Orange County Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program, the project addresses aging infrastructure built between 1904 and 1960. The selected consultant will perform initial condition assessments using video technology and ground penetrating radar to determine if wells can be repaired or must be abandoned. The scope includes obtaining permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, developing 60 percent conceptual designs, and producing a final bidding package with construction plans and specifications, including the installation of baffle boxes to protect water quality. All work must be completed by the grant performance end date of February 2030.
Qualified respondents must be registered in the State of Florida under Section 471.023 of the Florida Statutes. The selection process involves a two-phase, points-based evaluation by an Advisory Committee, with the top-ranked firm entering negotiations for compensation. The contract is subject to stringent federal and state regulations, including 24 CFR Part 570, 2 CFR Part 200, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Davis-Bacon Act for applicable construction phases. Key administrative requirements include the submission of narrative monthly invoices and the assignment of a dedicated project team, including a Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager, subject to City approval. All submissions must be made electronically via the City's procurement portal by September 3, 2026.
The contract involves design services for flood mitigation in Orlando through the replacement of drainage wells, focusing on a project addressing 13 drainage wells situated in low-to-moderate income urban areas. These wells, originally constructed between 1904 and 1960, were developed prior to the establishment of key regulatory programs such as the National Flood Insurance Program and state stormwater regulations. Many of these wells have since become blocked, abandoned, or paved over, reducing their effectiveness in managing surface water and mitigating flood risks. The initiative will begin with an assessment of accessible wells to determine if repairs are feasible or if replacement is necessary. In cases requiring replacement, permits will be secured, and new drainage wells will be designed and drilled, with baffle boxes installed where possible to enhance water quality protection.
The contract is issued by the Public Works agency of Florida and is categorized under solicitation number RQS26-0249, with a response deadline set for June 11, 2026. The project manager, Eric Glocke, and purchasing agent William Resto are the primary contacts for this solicitation. The work directly supports flood risk reduction in Orlando's urban core, an area with historic drainage infrastructure dating back to the early 20th century. Employing modern hydraulic and hydrology modeling, the project aims to restore and improve drainage well functionality to lower flood stages and reduce flood risks in areas with limited alternatives for flood control.
The contract involves design services for flood mitigation projects within the Southeast Lakes Basin in Orlando, Florida, a 3,500-acre area encompassing 18 interconnected lakes. This highly developed basin, primarily residential and commercial with no existing surface water outfall, relies solely on infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, and drainage wells to manage water levels. Because the basin is closed and landlocked, effective flood control is critical, particularly for the Orlando Health Downtown Campus—a 65-acre medical complex including major hospitals and specialized healthcare facilities such as Orlando Regional Medical Center, Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center. The project aims to reduce flood risk during a 100-year storm event, ensuring uninterrupted access for emergency vehicles, patients, and staff.
Key components of the Flood Mitigation Project include modifications to existing stormwater infrastructure along Miller Street and Howell, installation of an emergency generator at the Lake Lurna Pump Station, and construction of multiple stormwater detention chambers and pump stations at strategic locations including Orlando Health’s campus and Al Coith Park. A new stormwater system will be built along Orange Avenue with a final outfall at Lake Copeland. The coordinated enhancements will improve water management and reduce flooding across streets, parking lots, and medical buildings, safeguarding critical healthcare operations in the basin. The solicitation, managed by Orlando's Public Works department, invites responses for design services and provides points of contact for project management and procurement.

The contract pertains to the design services for the Albert Shores Septic to Sewer Project in Orlando, Florida, aimed at addressing environmental concerns caused by aging private septic systems in the Albert Shores neighborhood. These failing septic systems have been contributing to nutrient pollution in Lake Holden, a water body impaired under the Lake Okeechobee Basin Management Action Plan. The project follows a 2018 city study identifying roughly 84 homes that could transition from septic to public sewer systems. Although sewer infrastructure has been installed up to the property lines, many residents have yet to make the connections necessary to improve water quality.
In March 2025, the City applied for funding through the FY2024 Section 319(h) grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Nonpoint Source Management Program and was awarded funds in July 2025. The grant will finance design and construction efforts to connect homes to existing sewer laterals, ensure proper abandonment of septic systems, and provide resident education and financial assistance. The ultimate goal is to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus discharges into Lake Holden and ensure compliance with state water quality standards. The solicitation, identified by number RQS26-0384, was posted in May 2026 by the City of Orlando’s Public Works department, with a response deadline in June 2026.
