Background:
CC-6690-25/TAD will provide Phase 1 of improvements and construction to three (3) lift stations. The lift stations are Wembly Park, Heathrow Woods #2, and Carrington Park. Phase I also includes the demolition of Lake Sylvan Oaks lift station and the installation of gravity sewer to an adjacent manhole.
The project was publicly advertised and the County received five (5) bids in response to the solicitation. The Review Committee consisting of David Ornberg, Division Manager; William White, Chief Engineer; Dennis Westrick, Senior Engineer; and Alex LaForce, Project Manager II; all from Utilities Engineering, reviewed the responses giving consideration to bid price, qualifications, and experience.
The recommendation of award to the original apparent low bidder Gregori Construction was rescinded after further review of the calculations revealed nominal errors that could not be waived as minor irregularities. The vendor’s bid was determined to be non-responsive. On December 18, 2025, the County received a formal protest from Gregori Construction, and after review by the Purchasing Manager, and the County Attorney’s Office, the non-responsive determination of their bid was upheld.
The Review Committee recommends award to the lowest priced, responsive, responsible bidder, Carr & Collier, Inc. of Leesburg, FL in the amount of $1,985,700.00. The completion time for this project is one hundred sixty (160) calendar days to Substantial Completion and an additional twenty (20) calendar days to Final Completion after the issuance of a Notice to Proceed by the County.
This is a budgeted project, and funds are available in Pump Station Upgrades (00082924.560650.00001).
