Renovation of a water / sewer project in Panama City Beach, Florida. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The City of Panama City Beach hereby solicits sealed bids for the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) generators and automatic transfer switch system consisting of programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human machine interface (HMI) touch panels. These systems have proprietary password protected logic and configuration that prevents the City from modifying or easily maintaining the system. This situation has resulted in higher than expected service fees by the generator manufacturer. The City would like to replace the existing generator proprietary automatic transfer switch system with an open architecture system that the City can easily modify and maintain. The Contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, and labor to complete the project. Official questions must be submitted in writing no later than 4:00 P.M. on November 15th. Each bidder must comply with all applicable state and local laws concerning licensing, registration, and regulations of contractors doing business in Florida. Any sealed Bid submitted on paper must identify and clearly mark the Bid # PCB22-13 WRF#1 Generator & ATS Controls Improvements Project on the package. Receipt of a Bid by any Panama City Beach Office, receptionist or personnel other than the City Halls front desk does not constitute receipt as required by this solicitation. The time received at City Hall shall be conclusive as to the timeliness of receipt. A Bid Bond in the amount of 5% of the total amount of the Bid shall accompany the Bid. The City of Panama City Beach (City) reserves the right to reject any and all Bids. All Bids shall be firm (including all labor and material prices) for a period of 60 days after opening. The City shall award the contract to the lowest fully responsive and responsible bidder; provided, that the City Council may award the contract to a bidder other than the lowest bidder should it find the lowest bidder does not offer the reliability, quality of service or product afforded by such other bidder. Where a bid other than the lowest bid is taken, the City Council shall state the reasons upon which such award was made. PROJECT NO. PCB003 PROJECT NO.: SGR-1350
