Motion Approving Change Order No. 1 to the Agreement for the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions Compliance Program - Arcadis U.S., Inc. - 41-Day Extension and $338,395 - (Commission Districts 1, 2, 3 and 4)

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-09-15 · agenda_item

The City of Fort Lauderdale is considering a change order to its existing agreement with Arcadis U.S., Inc. for the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions Compliance Program. This change order would extend the project timeline by 41 days and increase the contract value by $338,395. The work is part of the city's ongoing effort to comply with federal regulations regarding lead and copper in drinking water. The item is currently pending review by the City Commission at its regular meeting on September 15, 2026. If approved, this change order would allow the compliance program to continue its work, which may involve water infrastructure assessments, sampling, and related engineering services. The scope of work is tied to the existing compliance program and would likely involve engineering, testing, and potential remediation planning. Local contractors and suppliers in the water infrastructure and engineering sectors could find opportunities to support this program, and reaching out to the city early could help position them for future work.
