EMERGENCY AWARD - ALEXANDER ORR WTP

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · resolution

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, was awarded to Industrial Divers Corp. Inc. for $268,298.00 to address an unexpected underwater obstruction of calcium carbonate buildup in the common channel supplying Contact Basin #4. This obstruction restricted water flow, reduced the plant's hydraulic capacity, and posed a risk to water quality and regulatory compliance. The emergency declaration allowed for specialized divers to clear the blockage without taking additional tanks offline. The contract was ratified on May 19, 2026.
