Overview

Summary

SUMMARY STANDARD LANGUAGE:

This is not a Request for Proposal, and no solicitation is available. The purpose of this notice is to inform the supplier community and the public that the City of Port St. Lucie intends to enter into a non-competitive contract (commonly referred to as a bid waiver or sole source) for the purchase of a product or service, under the authority of and in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c).

By publishing this notice, the City seeks to:

Enhance transparency in its procurement practices.
Encourage full and open competition where applicable; and
Provide potential suppliers with the opportunity to identify themselves.

Suppliers who believe they are qualified are invited to submit a statement of capability to the contact listed in this document. Any responses received as a result of this Notice will be reviewed solely to determine whether a competitive procurement process is warranted. Responses will not be considered proposals, bids, or quotes.

Background

This intake is for the treatment of a city owned stormwater management tract named Sawgrass Lake. The tract is located adjacent to Darwin/Paar and is surrounded by developed residential properties (HOA owned) and the Westport Wastewater Treatment Plant. Over the past few years, Sawgrass Lake has shown degraded water quality conditions, including blue-green algae blooms and fish kill events. Due to these degraded conditions, the residents have demanded a treatment of the body of water. After extensive testing and environmental consulting, the city has agreed on a treatment for the tract. The treatment is specifically recommended by the city's environmental consultant, Terracon, to treat the tract. The product is called TryMarine and it is solely available through SOLitude Lake Managment. This treatment will include a 3 year treatment plan that will treat the entirety of the lake (and the adjacent privately owned pond, if the city so chooses to) with multiple treatments a year, to improve the tract's conditions. The treatment plan will also include water quality, sediment, and algal monitoring/analysis. The city will also have assistance with fish kill clean up if they so choose to, at a per day rate.

Sawgrass Lake is a city owned stormwater management tract that has shown degraded water quality conditions since approximately 2021. Since then the city has been involved with the surrounding HOA masterboard to study the tract to attempt to determine the cause of the degraded conditions. The city hired an environmental consultant, Terracon, to conduct an in depth study to recommend a treatment for the tract. Upon completion of the study, Terracon specifically recommended a treatment plan using a product called TryMarine to address the concerns with Sawgrass Lake. The city has worked out a 3 year treatment plan with the sole source provider of TryMarine (SOLitude Lake Management) and is now in the process of forming the contract to conduct the treatment of TryMarine.
