INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PURCHASING DIVISION <br />DATE: January 11, 2024 <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Kristin Daniels, Director, Office of Management and Budget <br />FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />SUBJECT: Award of Bid 2024024 for Upper Floridian Aquifer South Well No. 1 <br />Replacement <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On August 15, 2023, the Board rejected responses received for Bid 202303, and authorized staff to <br />rebid, due to prices significantly higher than the engineer's opinion of probable construction cost <br />("OPCC"). The higher prices were suspected to be driven by a compressed project timeline to avoid <br />conflict with Scrub Jay mating season (March through June), and overall saturation of ongoing <br />construction work leading to limited availability. <br />A new invitation to bid, number 2024024, was issued for the construction of a new well to a depth <br />of approximately 835 feet below surface, and an additive alternate option to complete exploratory <br />borehole drilling and testing to 1,500 feet below surface. <br />BID RESULTS: <br />Advertising Date: <br />Bid Opening Date: <br />DemandStar Broadcast to: <br />Bid Documents Requested by: <br />Replies: <br />November 12, 2023 <br />December 13, 2023 <br />986 Subscribers <br />15 Firms <br />3 Firms <br />Bidder Location <br />Base Bid <br />Alternate <br />Layne Christensen Company* Fort Myers <br />$1,769,788.89 <br />$613,075.00 <br />Florida Design Drilling, Inc.
