Staff Recommends:  Approval of the attached Resolution.

 

 

Explanation:

The City has historically disposed of treated effluent from its Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (“SRWWTP”) using a combination of reuse water, deep injection wells, and an outfall to the Atlantic Ocean.  Section 403.086(10), Florida Statutes, sets forth the Legislature’s findings relating to the discharge of domestic wastewater through ocean outfalls and established scheduled milestones whereby the City must eliminate the discharge of secondary effluent to the ocean, with limited exceptions that allow the discharge of peak wet weather flows, by December 31, 2025.

 

On March 3, 2022, via Resolution No. R-2022-069, the City Commission authorized the execution of a contract with Cardinal Contractors, Inc. (“Cardinal”) for construction services related to the Pump Station for Deep Injection Wells No. 3 and No. 4 at the SRWWTP in an amount up to $112,299,970.00.

 

The pump station needs to be fed by high-voltage power provided by Florida Power & Light (“FP&L”).  In March of 2024, FP&L requested that the City install a duct bank crossing Eco Golf from the intersection of Harding Street and N 14th Avenue to the pump station.

 

On July 11, 2024, Invitation for Bid No. IFB-219-24-JJ was electronically advertised on OpenGov.com to solicit the desired construction services in accordance with Section 38.43(A) of the Procurement Code.  On August 28, 2024, two bid proposals were received in response to Invitation for Bid Number IFB-219-24-JJ, and publicly opened with the following results:

 

NO.                     BIDDER                                                                                    BASE BID                                          

1                     Cardinals Contractors, Inc.                     $2,615,010.00

2                     JVA Engineering Contractor                     $2,976,240.00

 

Brown & Caldwell, as the engineer of record, Department of Public Utilities (“Department”), and Office of Procurement staff thoroughly evaluated the bids for responsiveness and responsibility in accordance with section 38.43(F) of the City's Procurement Code, and determined Cardinal was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

 

On September 5, 2024, a Notice of Intent to Award was posted on the City’s website and on OpenGov.com and resulted in no bid protests.

 

This agenda item seeks City Commission’s approval and authorization that the appropriate City officials execute the attached contract with Cardinal in an amount up to $2,615,010.00 for construction services related to FP&L Duct Bank For Deep Injection Wells No. 3 and No. 4 Pump Station.

 

The Department Director and the Chief Procurement Officer further recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee, to utilize contingency funds reserved for resolving undefined conditions as set forth in the contract, if necessary and justified, in an amount up to $300,000.00.

 

It is estimated that the period to complete this work will be one hundred and thirty five days after the issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
