Commission ratifies $4.27M water-metering rehabilitation and $296K seawall design payment
Summary
The commission ratified the city manager’s expenditures for portable water metering system repairs totaling $4,268,745.50 and approved $296,112.74 paid to Dredging and Marine Consultants for City Island seawall engineering design and oversight.
The City Commission on Sept. 17 ratified two staff actions related to infrastructure repairs. Commissioners approved a resolution ratifying the city manager’s expenditures of $4,268,745.50 to pay Core & Main LP, Ferguson US Holdings LLC and Vivo Metering South LLC for repairs and replacement of city billing meter equipment.
That action was taken as a ratification of expenditures already made by the city manager; the motion carried 7–0 after the commission noted there were no public speakers on the item.
Separately, commissioners approved Work Authorization No. 2 under contract 22594 with Dredging and Marine Consultants LLC for engineering services related to City Island seawall design (engineering, design, permitting and construction oversight) and ratified the city manager’s payment of $296,112.74 under that authorization. That resolution also passed unanimously. Commissioners heard no public comment on the seawall ratification.
Staff said the seawall work is part of a phased City Island resilience program; the metering work addressed billing-equipment failures and replacement needs in the utility system. Both actions were routine ratifications of manager-authorized expenditures to maintain infrastructure and support ongoing capital and maintenance programs.
