Contract Award / Accurate Drilling Systems, Inc. / State Road 31 Force Main Replacement Project
body
REQUESTED MOTION:
Approve the Contract with Accurate Drilling Systems, Incorporated, for the State Road 31 Force Main Replacement Project.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends approval of the contract with Accurate Drilling Systems, Inc. for the replacement of the force main located on State Road 31 within the County limits.
BACKGROUND:
The County released Invitation to Bid No. 25-17-00 seeking qualified contractors to replace the existing force main on State Road 31 located within the County limits. To provide flexibility based on project scale and available funding, the solicitation included a base bid and three alternate bid options for varying pipe sizes and material types.
Eight (8) sealed bids were received and publicly opened on August 25, 2025. Accurate Drilling Systems, Incorporated, was the apparent lowest, responsive, responsible bidder for the base bid as well as all alternate bid options. Although the pricing submitted for Alternate No. 1 was lower than the base bid, the base bid option provides the pipe size and material that best meets the County’s long-term operational needs and system requirements.
After careful review and consideration, staff has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to proceed with award of the contract to Accurate Drilling Systems, Incorporated, utilizing the scope of the base bid option in the amount of $940,000.00.
