Subject: FW: Letter of Recommendation for WS 10-14 Packaged Generator - Eglin Plew Pump Station Project
Jack,
OCWS has a contract with Eglin Air Force Base to construct facilities that will result in the closure of four out-of-date
wastewater treatment plants and allow for the diversion of flow to the County’s state of the art Arbennie Pritchett
Water Reclamation Facility. FDEP rules require the provision of redundant systems to enable the ability to handle flows
during emergency power outages. One of the options allowed by FDEP rules is the provision of emergency backup
generators at sewer pump station sites. OCWS forces will be constructing a new sewer pump station at the site of the
existing Eglin AFB Plew treatment plant. It was determined that the emergency backup system for this pump station will
be the provision of a 230 KW diesel powered generator.
OCWS staff concurs with the recommendation of our consultants, Constantine Engineering, that the bid for the
Packaged Generator System — Eglin Plew PS Project (WS 10-14) be awarded to ESSE, LLC, they being the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder meeting all of the qualification requirements specified in the bid package. We
recommend the award for the base bid of a lump sum total of $65,215.00 with a Maximum Delivery Time of 108 days
from receipt of Purchase Order. A .pdf file of the recommendation letter from Constantine Engineering is attached to
this email.
Funds are available in the FY2014 budget. Budget documentation will be provided to you by Mark Griffin.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need anything else from us.
