Hallandale Beach awards $7.09 million contract for 3 Islands, Parkview and Leslie Drive water-main improvements
Summary
The commission awarded a $7,094,934.64 contract (plus 10% contingency) to Mancon Inc. for water-main replacement on 3 Islands Boulevard, Parkview Drive and Leslie Drive and discussed overlap with the Atlantic Shores project and multiple lift-station upgrades.
The Hallandale Beach City Commission on Aug. 20 awarded a $7,094,934.64 construction contract to Mancon Incorporated for the 3 Islands Boulevard, Parkview Drive and Leslie Drive water-main improvements project and authorized a 10% contingency, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $7,804,428.13.
City Engineer Mark Gambrell briefed the commission. He said the work includes about 9,600 linear feet of new water main, three jack-and-bore operations and tie-ins to create a looped system that improves resilience. The project replaces older clay pipes and service lines and raises several lift-station structures to meet FEMA requirements. Gambrell said the materials procurement and complex jack-and-bore schedule explain the longer construction window.
Commissioners and the public asked about concurrent construction: Atlantic Shores (a nearby developer's infrastructure project) will be finishing its water-main work and related tie-ins in early 2026, Gambrell said; the 3 Islands project is planned to begin in January 2026 and is expected to run into 2027. The city noted lift-station replacement work (Lift Stations 4 and 5) will also occur in the same neighborhood. City staff stressed coordination is required so the projects phase correctly and minimize disruption.
Vice Mayor Lazaro and others asked for direct contact information and promised to share updates with affected residents. The bidder introduced himself (Anthony Mancini) and attended the meeting; commissioners thanked the contractor for participation.
Why it matters: The work replaces aging clay mains, adds resiliency via looped mains, raises critical lift stations above flood elevations, and will produce several months of neighborhood construction. Commissioners urged robust resident notification and coordination between concurrent projects to minimize travel and access impacts.
Ending: The commission approved the contract 5-0 and asked staff to provide a contractor contact and a neighborhood timeline for the overlapping projects so residents can prepare for the simultaneous infrastructure work.
