Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners ratified an emergency contract for work at the Alexander Orr Water Treatment Plant. The contract, No. EC-298173, awarded to Industrial Divers Corp. Inc. for $268,298.00, addresses an unexpected underwater obstruction of calcium carbonate buildup in the common channel supplying Contact Basin #4.
