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 micro-constituents related to purifying reuse effluent. FDEP further requires that all testing be performed by a qualified laboratory. The City’s laboratory does not hold the required certifications.
The City solicited bids to qualified laboratories for testing services related to the requirements of the City’s FDEP operating permit and Weck Laboratoires, Inc., was found to be the lowest-best responsive bidder. The remainder of the testing lots in Bid 0218-1510 falls under the City Manager’s authority to award. Funds available in the Water and Sewer Operating Account
