summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
In accordance with the City Code of Ordinance, Section 32.46 "Emergency Procurement,” the City Manager authorized issuing an emergency Purchase Order to repair Lift Station 67, located at 50 S.E. 12th St., Pompano Beach, FL 33060. The City maintains two competitively solicited utility repair contracts (Ordinance 2020-29). Each contract has a clause (Article 4) that permits additional quotes from a different contractor. After the primary and secondary contractors submitted emergency repair quotations that were $108,030.00 and higher, the Utilities Department requested an additional quote from a local company since the Utilities Department is knowledgeable about pricing in this industry, which resulted in a cost savings of $23,470. The Utilities Department Memorandum No. 2023-52 includes the details of the repair. To prevent a threat to public health and minimize the disruption of utility services, Purchase Order 331096 was issued to Trio Development Corporation, in the amount of $84,560.00. City Commission approval is requested to ratify the actions taken by City staff.
Origin of request for this action: Staff
Fiscal impact and source of funding: The $84,560.00 in emergency repairs will be paid from budget account 420-7345-535-65-12 Capital Projects / Sewer.
