**As of January 9, 2024, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for award has not yet been established. Reference Number 0000335266 The City of Milton is seeking a company to convert the disinfection system at the City of Milton's water and wastewater treatment plants from chlorine gas to bulk sodium hypochlorite and to convert the de-chlorination system at the wastewater treatment plant from sulfur dioxide gas to sodium bisulfite. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing a "turnkey" project including all required Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permitting (including permit fees), equipment supply and installation and startup services. The work must be completed within 270 days of the Contractor receiving a Notice to Proceed for the Work. Question Deadline 12/11/2023 at 2:00 PM CT Questions are submitted online No, Questions should be submitted in writing and directed to the Purchasing Department at (850) 983- 5438; or by e-mail to DEbentheuer@miltonFL.org. Answers will be posted by Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. (CST). LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: $100.00 per day. Each Bid must be accompanied by a BID BOND payable to the OWNER for five percent of the total amount of the BID. A PERFORMANCE BOND and PAYMENT BOND each in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price, with a corporate surety approved by OWNER, will be required for the faithful performance of the contract, A certified check may be used in lieu of the BID BOND. The "Work" under this Specification includes the furnishing of all engineering, permitting, labor, materials, equipment, documentation, installation, training, and startup services for the conversion of the disinfection systems from chlorine gas to sodium hypochlorite and the wastewater de-chlorination system from sulfur dioxide to sodium bisulfite at the following water (WTP), and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP): 1) Main WWTP, 6903 Municipal Drive, Milton, Florida 32570 2) Fire House WTP, 5300 Byrom Street, Milton, Florida 32570 3) Byrom Street WTP, 6606 Grace Street, Milton, Florida 32570 4) Berryhill WTP, 5662 Berryhill Road, Milton, Florida 32570 5) Glover Hospital WTP, 5573 Northrop Road, Milton, Florida 32570 6) Appaloosa WTP, 6400 Appaloosa Avenue, Milton, Florida 32570 The Work shall be done in such a manner that each plant maintains continuous disinfection (and de-chlorination at the wastewater treatment plant) through use of the existing system or the use of a temporary sodium hypochlorite or sodium bisulfite systems. All of the water plants are permitted under PWS #1570146. The Contractor shall be responsible for designing and permitting the proposed sodium hypochlorite system with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This responsibility includes any responding to any requests for information (RFI), providing record drawings and all required FDEP completion paperwork to get a clearance to operate the systems. The City of Milton would sign all of the permitting forms as the authorized user and the Contractor shall sign and seal the application and the associated drawings. Once each plant is permitted by the FDEP, the Contractor would install a new sodium hypochlorite system utilizing the existing structures on the site to replace the existing chlorine gas system. Likewise, the Contractor shall utilize the existing de-chlorination facilities to install the new sodium bisulfite system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. ach Water Treatment Plant sodium hypochlorite system would consist of a single 165-gallon double-walled storage tank (65-gallon double-walled tank at the Byrom WTP), two diaphragm chemical feed pumps, interconnecting piping between the tank and pumps, new injection piping including installation of a saddle with injection quill using a "wet" tap, a new chlorine analyzer, a new eyewash/safety shower, and associated electrical and control wiring. The existing Chlorine Room at each site would be repurposed from chlorine gas to sodium hypochlorite. The main Wastewater Treatment Plant sodium hypochlorite system would consist of two 2,000- gallon double-walled storage tanks, two chemical feed duplex skids each containing two peristaltic feed pumps, interconnecting piping between the tanks and feed pumps, new injection piping to the five existing points, control wiring for the existing clarifier discharge flow signal to the sodium hypochlorite pumps and associated electrical and control wiring. There is a Chlorine Building open on the west side which measures approximately 12' X 22' X 9' tall. The building is raised up on a 5' tall concrete slab for storm surge protection from a hurricane. The Contractor shall use the existing Chlorine Building for the sodium hypochlorite storage tanks and shall repurpose the two FRP sheds behind the Sulfur Dioxide Building for the sodium hypochlorite feed pump skids. The sheds shall be relocated to the concrete pad immediately east of the Chlorine Building. This will involve a minor relocation of the existing sodium hydroxide system. The main Wastewater Treatment Plant sodium bisulfite system would consist of two 2,000-gallon double-walled storage tanks, one chemical feed duplex skid containing two peristaltic feed pumps, interconnecting piping between the tanks and feed pumps, control wiring for the existing clarifier discharge flow signal to the sodium bisulfite pumps and associated electrical and control wiring. Because sodium bisulfite can begin to crystallize at temperatures less than 46 degrees F, the tanks will have to have a recirculation pump and all of the piping must be heat traced and insulated and heat trace/heater will suffice. Additionally, the pump skid shall be enclosed with a small heater. There is an existing Sulfur Dioxide Building which measures approximately 12' X 22' X 10' tall. The building is raised up on a 5' tall concrete slab for storm surge protection from a hurricane. The Contractor shall use the existing Sulfur Dioxide Building for the sodium bisulfite storage, recirculation and feed equipment. The City of Milton (the "Owner") shall designate Robert Gloyd as the Owner's Project Manager and main point of contact @ (850) 983-5461 for the following with regard to this project: (1) For technical questions after contract award; (2) Directions to the facilities; and (3) To act as the Owner's Project Manager which includes approval authority for the required submittals, arrange for access to the site to coordinate the on-site Work, and issue final acceptance of the system.
