The Daytona Beach City Commission accepted low bids and authorized contracts for two utility projects at its Oct. 1 meeting.

Council voted to award Lawrence Lee Construction Services Inc. the Well 44 improvements contract at $1,352,000 and a second contract for Ralph Brennan Water Treatment Plant lime-sludge handling improvements at $1,640,000. The motions to accept the bids and authorize the mayor and clerk to execute the contracts were approved unanimously with no public comment recorded.

City staff presented the resolutions as routine procurement items. The mayor called for the vote, and the clerk recorded both motions as carrying without opposition.

The projects are part of the utilities department capital improvements; staff will manage contract execution and construction oversight according to city procurement and project management procedures.
