AI overview

The City of Clearwater, Florida, through its Public Works department, is issuing Invitation to Bid (ITB) 23-0013-UT for the repair of the anaerobic digester at the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility (NEWRF). The scope of work encompasses the complete draining and cleaning of the digester, followed by the removal and inspection of the digester cover (including the dome, skirt, and bottom), pipe supports, mixing nozzles, concrete corbels, and all associated gas and sludge feed piping. Final repair quantities and methods will be determined after a thorough inspection, to be agreed upon by the City and the Engineer. The Contractor is required to develop a tabulation of recommended replacements and repairs for the City's approval. The project includes multiple bid items, with a bid alternative for a complete new digester cover if required and accepted.

Specific work items include repair of external roof plates (patching, epoxy coating, roller replacement), repair of the digester cover side skirt (sandblasting, rewelding, recoating), and repair of internal ceiling plates (sandblasting, rewelding, recoating). Concrete repairs inside the tank include pipe support repair, crack and spall repair, and ballast block replacement. The project also requires replacement of plug valves and potential replacement of various sizes of ductile iron pipe (16-inch, 12-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch) and 4-inch stainless steel digester gas pipe. Glass-lined ductile iron mixing nozzles will be inspected and replaced as needed. The contractor is also responsible for providing fixed project signs as specified in the contract documents.

Key dates and deadlines are as follows: a Pre-Proposal Conference is scheduled for August 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET; the deadline for all questions (Q&A Deadline) is August 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET; and proposals are due on August 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. The contract period for the awarded work is 365 consecutive calendar days. The solicitation is being managed through OpenGov, with all relevant documents, including bid set drawings and supplemental technical specifications by Brown and Caldwell (BV), available for download.

Prospective bidders must submit their responses electronically through the City's OpenGov Procurement Portal by the stated deadline. The procurement contact is Kelly Rogers, Procurement Analyst II, and the Contract and Procurement Specialist is Jennifer Burgett, both available via email and phone.
