8. ACTION AGENDA (NON-CONSENT)

City Council · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The City of West Melbourne is planning to construct a new injection well for its sewer and water plants. The existing sewer plant uses a 40-year-old injection well. Staff and consultants have determined that a new well is a better option than modifying the old one. The project is planned to use grant funding, with an intent to award of $7.4 million from Florida Commerce, in addition to $1.85 million already received. The total estimated construction cost is between $13 to $14 million. The city will solicit bids through a Request for Proposals, as a "piggy-back" contract is not allowed. This project will involve site preparation, construction of the new well, and related underground utility and piping work. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this project should reach out to the City of West Melbourne to understand the bidding process and potential timelines, as opportunities may arise before final bids and permits are settled.
