Satellite Beach council approves debris contracts, tennis change order and memorial; several procurement piggybacks cleared

Satellite Beach — The Satellite Beach City Council on Oct. 15 approved a suite of procurement actions and capital adjustments, including county piggyback agreements for disaster debris removal and monitoring, a change order for the city’s tennis facility project, and a proposal to install a military medallion wall at City Hall.

The council voted to piggyback Brevard County’s contract with Crowder Gulf for disaster debris collection and to piggyback the county’s monitoring contract with Tetra Tech. Councilors also approved a $77,968.14 change order for Watauga Company tied to the Delores Park tennis facility project, and authorized $2,000 from the city for a dedication plaque for a proposed military medallion wall to be funded primarily by donations routed through the Satellite Beach Volunteer Fire Department.

Why it matters: The debris agreements let Satellite Beach issue a notice to proceed quickly after a declared disaster and to use pre-vetted contractors for debris removal and FEMA-eligible monitoring documentation. The tennis project change order adds air conditioning and other items omitted from the original contract; the council said the city will use an underrun of $24,149 from the general contractor to offset part of the cost, reducing the actual additional outlay to $53,819.
