RO1 Chemical Storage and Feed System Improvements

The City of Clearwater is seeking bids for improvements to the Reverse Osmosis (RO1) facility's chemical storage and feed systems. The project involves preparation, coating, and upgrade of chemical containment areas for Hydrofluorosilicic Acid, Antiscalant, Sodium Bisulfite, and Caustic, with installation of leak detection sensors, conduit, and wiring in each area.

A major component includes demolition of the existing Ammonium Hydroxide storage area and replacement with new facilities. This work encompasses furnishing and installing temporary ammonia dosing equipment, preparing and coating the containment area, installing a new level switch with accessories and grating in the sump area, and furnishing new storage tanks, day tank, chemical piping, tubing, valves, fittings, supports, and accessories. The project also includes installation of new transfer pumps and a new dosing SCADA system.

Additionally, the caustic dosing line in the RO process room will be demolished and replaced with a new caustic dosing line featuring containment, insulation, injection quill, and injection quill housing. Contractors must provide current Florida and Pinellas County contractor licenses/registrations and submit fixed project signs as described in the contract documents.

Key dates include a pre-proposal conference on June 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM, a questions and answers deadline of July 8, 2026 at 9:00 PM, and a proposal submission deadline of July 22, 2026 at 6:00 PM.
