Commission awards three utility contracts totaling about $12.6 million for UV system parts and lift‑station replacements

The Daytona Beach City Commission on unanimous votes approved three separate utilities resolutions that together commit roughly $12.56 million to water-reclamation system components and sewer lift-station replacements. The votes were taken as individual agenda resolutions during the administrative items portion of the meeting. What passed: - A resolution approving purchase of ultraviolet (UV) system parts from Trojan Technologies for the Westside Regional and Bethune Point Water Reclamation Facilities in the amount of $1,086,409.22. - A resolution accepting the bid of Sandpick Inc. for replacement of Lift Station No. 40 (507 N. Clyde Morris Blvd.) in the amount of $1,499,056, authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute the contract and authorizing return of bid securities for unsuccessful bidders. - A resolution accepting the bid of Clearwater Solutions LLC for replacement of Lift Station No. 8 (1210 Bellevue Ave.) in the amount of $9,977,540.81, rejecting a nonresponsive bid and authorizing contract execution. Each item carried on a 7-0 voice vote after staff confirmed there were no public speakers on the items. Nut graf: The three actions fund maintenance and capital replacement work the utilities department said is required for water‑reclamation and sewer infrastructure, and the commission authorized staff to finalize contracts and proceed to construction or purchase. Discussion and detail: For the Trojan Technologies purchase, staff described the procurement as a resolution authorizing the purchase and providing an effective date; there were no questions and no public speakers. For Lift Station No. 40, the commission accepted Sandpick Inc.’s bid and authorized contract execution. For Lift Station No. 8, staff presented Clearwater Solutions LLC’s winning bid of $9,977,540.81 and the commission approved rejecting a nonresponsive bid and awarding the contract. What the actions do not do: The approvals authorize contracts and purchases but do not change utility rates or finalize construction schedules in the meeting record. Contractors and contract documents will be returned for mayor and city clerk signature, and bid securities will be returned to unsuccessful bidders as required. Next steps: Staff will execute contracts and proceed with procurement and project scheduling under the terms authorized by the resolutions.
