| | | | | | | | Item as displayed on the Agenda:
| | Resolution awarding a unit price project specific contract for a 2-year term for Lot 1 laboratory testing to TestAmerica Laboratories, Inc., 5102 LaRouche Avenue, Savannah, GA 31404 in the amount of $44,538, awarding a unit price project specific contract for a 2-year term for Lot 5 laboratory testing to Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc., 6681 Southport Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32216 in the amount of $33,000, authorizing the combined expenditure of $18,010 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2017 - 2018; and authorizing the City Manager to expend funds for both contracts in future fiscal years subject to budget appropriations. TestAmerica and Advanced Environmental Laboratories were the best responsive bidders for Lot 1 and Lot 5 respectively. The City obtained an operating permit from The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the construction and operation of the Demonstration Testing System. The operating permit requires the City to test on a fixed schedule and frequency a wide variety of nutrients, metals and organics related to purifying reuse effluent. FDEP further requires in the operating permit that all testing be performed by a certified laboratory. The testing required for Lots 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 falls within the City Managers authority, however, for Lots 1 and 5, the City solicited bids to qualified laboratories for testing services related to the requirements of the City’s FDEP operating permit. Lot 7 was removed from the Bid. Funds available in the Water & Wastewater Operating Fund.
Recommendation: Interim Utilities Director recommends adoption of the Resolution. |
