Explanation:
The City owns, operates and maintains stormwater facilities, including 10 stormwater pump stations, 75 major outfalls, 45 weir control structures, 69,000 linear feet trench drains and 128 miles of pipes and culverts. These stormwater facilities require rehabilitation, repair and replacement work on an as-needed basis.
Similar construction services were competitively bid by the City of Fort Lauderdale, pursuant to its Bid Number 473-11907 - Stormwater Work on April 20, 2017. The City of Fort Lauderdale awarded Bid Number 473-11907 - Stormwater Work to GPE Engineering & General Contractor, Southeastern Engineering Contractors, Inc., Hinterland Group Inc., and DP Development of the Treasure Coast, LLC and the contract is valid from September 24, 2017 through October 24, 2021.
GPE Engineering & General Contractor (“GPE”) and Southeastern Engineering Contractors, Inc. (“SEC”) have demonstrated their experience and quality of work through many projects completed for the City and both have agreed to extend the same pricing as outlined in City of Fort Lauderdale’s Bid Number 473-11907 to the City.
The total project cost is in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 and the project cost will be divided between GPE and SEC as follows: (1) GPE - in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00. (2) SEC - in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00.
Section 38.40 (C)(5) of the Purchasing Ordinance allows the Director to procure, without following formal procedures, all goods and services which are the subject of contracts with the state, its political subdivisions, the United States government, other governmental entities, or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, provided however, the goods and services are: (i) the subject of a price schedule negotiated by the state or the United States government, or (ii) the subject of a contract with another governmental entity or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, which contract is based strictly on competitive bids or competitive proposals and not on any preference.
The project shall be for a one-year term and may be renewed for additional one-year periods upon expiration of the initial term, not to exceed a maximum of four additional renewal periods.
The Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Procurement and Contract Compliance recommend that the City Commission approve the issuance of blanket purchase orders to GPE and SEC for the Stormwater Construction.

Funding for this project requires amending the approved FY 2020 Capital Improvement Program as set forth in the attached Exhibit A, subject to approval of this resolution.
