Bid #IFB-391-26-JJ. City of Hollywood, Hollywood, Florida. The City of Hollywood is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced contractors to construct a new Emergency Bypass Bar Screen System at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Due Jun 22 (8 days left).
The City of Hollywood is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced contractors to construct a new Emergency Bypass Bar Screen System at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP). This project aims to create a fully functional bypass that can handle up to 140 million gallons per day (MGD) during severe storm events or when the existing screening building must be taken offline for critical maintenance. The improvements will include installation of a new coarse bar screen structure, a 72‑inch FRP/GRP bypass pipeline, a new junction box, extensive utility relocations, site restoration, and related electrical and control upgrades. This project is driven by multiple recent failures of the plant's existing bar screens, which have been damaged by large storm debris and level sensor malfunctions. These failures have forced the plant to operate unscreened during emergencies, sending debris-laden wastewater downstream and increasing the risk of equipment damage, operational downtime, and environmental non-compliance. The emergency bypass will provide a resilient, dedicated pathway that allows the City to maintain safe and continuous operations even under extreme conditions, while also enabling rehabilitation of aging infrastructure such as the existing 72‑inch influent pipe and screen building. With preliminary construction components outlined in the Bid Form—including major utility work, deep excavation, FRP pipeline installation, bar screen construction, and restoration—the City seeks a contractor capable of executing complex wastewater infrastructure work in a congested, operational plant environment. This project represents a key investment in storm readiness, operational reliability, and long‑term asset management at one of the region’s most critical wastewater facilities.

City of Hollywood in Hollywood, Florida is using this solicitation to procure environmental work. Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both. Bidders responding to a environmental solicitation in Florida are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Florida so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this IFB, review the full solicitation documents for City of Hollywood's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit.
