Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 27-670-51, Repair and Maintenance of Debris, Pontoon, and Skimmer Boats, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to maintain and repair the Maintenance and Operations Department's boats for a two-year period. This contract will have two groups: Group A for the debris boat and Group B for the pontoon, skimmer and work boats. Separate contracts could be awarded for each group.
The estimated cost for this contract is $191,000.00. The estimated 2027 and 2028 expenditures are $95,500.00 and $95,500.00, respectively.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will not be included in this contract because work will be performed at the contractor’s facility.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V will not be included in Group A because there are insufficient numbers of certified MBEs, WBEs, and VBEs available to perform the specialized scope of work and will not be included in Group B because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise October 21, 2026
Bid Opening November 10, 2026
Award December 3, 2026
Completion December 31, 2028
Funds for 2027 and 2028 are being requested in Account 501-50000-612790 and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 27-670-51.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Director of Maintenance and Operations, JBS:BML:MM:JR:DS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson Committee on Procurement
