The pool was established on October 3, 2023, via Resolution No. R-871-23, modified via Resolution No. R-556-25, and expires on November 30, 2028. The current cumulative allocation is $6,017,000.00.

The item was forwarded to the BCC with a favorable recommendation by the Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee on 7/15/2026. The agenda date is 9/1/2026. The impact is countywide. The additional funding is needed for WASD's operational needs, including planned maintenance, emergency repairs, and regulatory compliance.

The funding will also support cleaning of 10 contact basins at the Alexander Orr, Hialeah, and Preston Water Treatment Plants. Prequalified vendors include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC (SBE), Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC.
