Background: The James E. Anderson Water (“JEA”) Treatment Facility treats brackish groundwater with reverse osmosis membranes to provide potable water to the City’s customers.
An E-Bid was issued on April 6, 2022 to 1,530 potential suppliers. There were 41 plan holders with two proposals submitted on May 19, 2022.
Upon contract execution, All Webbs Enterprises, Inc. notified the City of product availability for the 24-inch Certalok PVC. To obtain a product replacement, the cost would be an additional $70,000.00. This additional cost is well below the next bidder’s proposal of $3,798,813.00 who would also have the same issue.
