The pool was established on October 3, 2023, through Resolution No. R-871-23 and modified through Resolution No. R-556-25, for a five-year term, currently valued at $6,017,000. The pool expires on November 30, 2028. The item was forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee on 7/15/2026. Agenda date is 9/1/2026. Any contract award under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 is subject to ratification by the Board. The impact is countywide. The additional expenditure authority is specifically for WASD, the largest user. The pool provides services including tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, hydro-excavation, and related maintenance activities. The request is necessary due to increased utilization, including a temporary dewatering system at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant (NDWWTP) costing over $2 million due to reduced capacity at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP) at Virginia Key. 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. Due diligence found no adverse findings except a resolved settlement with Synagro South, LLC via Resolution No. R-769-23. The Living Wage Ordinance does not apply. The two percent User Access Program applies where permitted. Small Business Enterprise measures and Local Preference will be determined at the time of spot market competition.
