Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) owns, operates, and maintains more than 86 sanitary sewer lift stations and 10 stormwater pump stations.
The Department received a federal grant from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (“FDEM”) through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. This grant is funding the installation of backup generators at the following sites: Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations No. E-01, E-03, E-06, W-14, and W-15, and Stormwater Pump Station SW-08.
The Department had a contract with Zabatt Engine Services, Inc. (“Zabatt”) to install these generators. On April 6, 2026, the City Commission approved an extension of the contract with Zabatt because additional time was needed to complete the generator installations.
The Department staff requested extensions from FDEM on the following dates:
• May 11, 2026, and July 13, 2026: Extension requested for Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations No. E-01, E-03, E-06, W-14, and W-15 and Stormwater Pump Station SW-08.
- Period of Performance (“POP”) end date: August 31, 2026
- Extension requested by the City through: February 28, 2027
Two engineering companies, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., and Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc., were selected to provide design and construction administration services for these generator installations. Amendments to extend their Agreements are needed to allow them to continue providing construction administration services until the project is complete.
After reviewing the project delays, Department staff determined that a non-compensable time extension is fair and reasonable.
The Department Director and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission approve a non-compensable extension of the contract with Zabatt through February 28, 2027.
This agenda item seeks the City Commission’s approval and authorization for the appropriate City officials to execute a contract extension with Zabatt, and to execute amendments to the Professional Engineering Consultant Services Agreements with Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc. and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., to provide construction administration services through the extended project completion date, with no change to the respective contract amounts.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will have no fiscal impact on the City, as this is a non-compensable extension.
Department staff will manage this project. No additional staff are needed as a result of this project.
