Recommendation Concerning the Issuance of a Purchase Order to Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) for the Innerarity Island Water System Improvement Project on Innerarity Island - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board approve the issuance of a Purchase Order to Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA), in an amount not to exceed $580,000, for the Innerarity Island Water System Improvement Project on Innerarity Island.
[Funding Source: Fund 352 "LOST III," Cost Center 110211, Object Code 56301, Project No. 16PF3502] |
| BACKGROUND: |
On March 21, 2014, the court ordered Escambia County to become the receiver of IIDC, an abandoned wastewater and water utility. Staff has been working with ECUA to incorporate Innerarity Island into ECUA's water service area once certain repairs and upgrades are made. ECUA has agreed to oversee and manage the upgrades to the water utility system on Innerarity Island at no cost to ECUA or its rate payers, and thereafter accept Innerarity Island within its water service area, and accept ownership of the water utility system on Innerarity Island.
A bid opening was held on November 29, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. for the Innerarity Island Water System Project, ECUA #CS612, Bid No. CC2017 02. Southern Utility Company, Inc., at $445,819.52 the low bid, will be awarded the contract at the next ECUA Board meeting. Since the Interlocal Agreement is with ECUA, a purchase order will be issued to ECUA for the construction cost and requested contingencies, and monthly invoices will be sent to the Public Works Department for payment. |
