The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) has the responsibility for planning, regulating, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining a wastewater collection system including 85 sewer lift stations.
The Department desires to obtain professional engineering consulting services related to the design, permitting, and bidding of the Lift Station E-06 Rehabilitation Project. On September 6, 2023, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2023-277, which authorized the execution of Continuing Services Agreements with eight firms for water, sewer, reuse, and stormwater infrastructure projects, one of the firms being Chen Moore and Associates (“CHEN”).
