17-0048-UT East WRF Filter Feed Pump Station & Force Main Improvements

The Base Bid Work of this Project generally includes, but is not limited to, improvements to the existing Clearwater East Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) filter feed pump station, specifically consisting of replacement of existing valves, pumps, and their associated appurtenances. The work to modify these components may result in required modifications to the existing valve vault, including demolition and expansion efforts and a bypass of the entire system between clarifier effluent and filter influent. The work also includes relocating existing electrical components onsite to form a new panel and disconnect area, including panels and conduits, and replacing in kind the existing main duty pumps, jockey pumps, associated isolation valves, check valves, and additional ancillary equipment as indicated in the Contract Drawings If existing conditions result in the Base Bid not being practical to be constructed as described, and with the approval of the Owner, a Design Bid Alternate may be considered instead. Documents related to a Design Bid Alternate are included in the Contract Drawings as “DBA” Sheets, and generally describe the option to instead perform the work that generally includes, but is not limited to, demolishing portions of the valve vault and associated piping, fittings, valves, and appurtenances; abandoning portions of the valve vault in place; demolishing indicated discharge piping within the filter feed pump station, and outside through to the discharge header where indicated on the Contract Drawings; and installing new discharge piping, valves, fittings, concrete pad, supports, and appurtenances as required to bring the piping above grade and connect the existing filter feed pump station to the existing filter feed force main at a single location. All other elements of the base bid outside the piping, fittings, valves, appurtenances, and valve vault shall still apply (e.g. electrical infrastructure movement, etc.). The Contractor shall provide copies of a current Contractor License/Registration with the state of Florida and Pinellas County in the bid response. The Contractor shall provide Fixed project signs as described in Section III, Section 23 of the Contract Documents. The final number of project signs will be determined at the beginning of the project based on the Contractor’s schedule of work submitted for approval. Additional project signs may be required at no additional cost to the city due to the Contractor’s schedule of work. Contract Period: 365 Consecutive Calendar Days
