Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) Stormwater pump stations are essential for moving stormwater during heavy rainfall and storm events. However, several pump stations have experienced Florida Power & Light electric power failures. The Department therefore wishes to secure a source of backup power for this essential equipment to improve the City’s storm readiness and lower the risk of localized flooding, road closures, and damage to public and private property.
The Department wishes to purchase three portable 175 KW generators. These units can be rapidly deployed where needed in the event of a power failure, ensuring pumps remain operational. This will help reduce flooding and protect public safety. This is a priority for the Department following several recent incidents of heavy rainfall that caused significant flooding. These risks are particularly high during hurricane season when prolonged outages are common.
The selected vendor, JCB Miami LLC DBA Gold Coast JCB, is a certified Sourcewell cooperative contract holder. Utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 020923-JCB allows the City to “Piggyback” on a competitively solicited contract.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project was included in the amended FY 2025 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 443.419901.53800.564530.001932.000.000.
