CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA – RFQ

RFQ 26-D-00030 Ybor Pumping Station Force Main Repairs Design

Public Announcement in Compliance With Requirements of Section 287.055 Florida Statutes (Consultants’

Competitive Negotiation Act) Applicable Law, Executive Orders, Rules, Regulations, and The City’s Standard

Procedures. Notice of Intent to Award Shall be posted, if at all, on the City’s Webs ite accessible by utilizing

the website link: Contract Administration.

The City of Tampa seeks Design Services to complete repairs on the force main for the Ybor Pumping

Station as described in the attached Phase 2 - Long-Term Resolution Alternatives Analysis.

Services will include, but not limited to, evaluate alternatives for repairing the force main, survey,

geotechnical services, final design, specifications, cost estimating, identifying subcontractor opportunities,

Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), utility notification and coordination, easement acquisition as needed,

permitting, public outreach, limited bid assistance, project management, limited construction engineering

and inspection (CEI) services, as-built preparation and all related work required for a complete project.

Background: The Ybor Pumping Station Force Main was placed into service in 1980. The force main

conveys wastewater from the Ybor Pumping Station located at 1302 N 25th St. to the Howard F. Curren

AWTP located at 2700 Maritime Blvd. The pipeline consists of approximately 2,000 LF of 72” and 11,000 LF

of 54” prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP). In 2025, an air release valve south of Adamo Dr. was

found to be leaking. Investigations revealed that a top mounted threaded outlet on a section of 72” pipe

was structurally compromised which provided evidence that the pipe near the outlet was corroded due to

the collection of hydrogen sulfide gas. Temporary repairs were made to strengthen the pipe; however, the

corroded portions of the force main need to be permanently replaced, repaired, or rehabilitated.

The scope of the design will include, but not limited to:

1. Alternatives evaluation for the selection of the preferred method for the permanent replacement,

repair, or rehabilitation.

2. Complete design of selected alternative

3. Complete permitting through all local, state, and federal agencies.

4. Assistance with easement acquisition including survey (if needed).

5. Assistance with construction services including shop drawing reviews, responding to RFI’s,

inspections.

6. Preparation of As-builts and permit closing outs.

Design Cost Estimate is $1,000,000 - $3,000,000

Construction Cost Estimate is $7,000,000 - $12,000,000
