This legislative item requests additional expenditure authority for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, Dewatering and Tank Cleaning Services, for the Water and Sewer Department. The requested additional amount is $12,879,707.00, bringing the total modified cumulative pool amount to $18,896,707.00. The pool was established on October 3, 2023, via Resolution No. R-871-23 and modified via Resolution No. R-556-25, with a current cumulative allocation of $6,017,000.00. The pool expires on November 30, 2028. The item was introduced on 6/24/2026, forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee on 7/15/2026, and is scheduled for the Board agenda on 9/1/2026 as item 8P4. The impact is countywide. The Water and Sewer Department's existing cumulative allocation is $4,517,000.00, with the additional allocation requested of $12,879,707.00, for a modified cumulative allocation of $17,396,707.00. Multiple other departments have an existing cumulative allocation of $1,500,000.00. The additional expenditure authority is needed due to higher than anticipated utilization, including a temporary dewatering system at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant costing over $2 million, and to support cleaning of 10 contact basins at the Alexander Orr, Hialeah, and Preston Water Treatment Plants. Any contract award under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 is subject to ratification by the Board. Prequalified vendors include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC (SBE), Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC.
