Live Oak council accepts H2O Innovation bid, contingent on contract negotiations
Summary
The City of Live Oak approved a resolution accepting a single bid from H2O Innovation Operations and Maintenance LLC; final contract terms will return to the council for approval.
The City of Live Oak City Council voted to accept a bid from H2O Innovation Operations and Maintenance LLC and authorized staff to continue contract negotiations, council members said. The action was taken by voice vote with no recorded dissent.
Staff told the council the firm was the only entity to submit a bid for the public-works services described in the submission; the resolution approved at this meeting accepts that proposal “contingent upon further negotiations” to finalize the contract’s duties, workforce, and related terms. The council’s vote at this meeting authorized step one — acceptance of the proposal — not final execution of a contract.
According to staff remarks recorded in the meeting, the next step will be a subsequent agenda item that includes the negotiated contract as an exhibit. At that later meeting the council will consider the full terms and may vote to authorize the mayor to execute the contract on behalf of the city. Council members asked that they be able to review the final contract language and line items before any final approval; staff described an ongoing exchange with the bidder to correct typographical placement issues and settle language about water distribution and duties.
Action taken: the council approved the resolution accepting the bid from H2O Innovation Operations and Maintenance LLC and directed staff to continue negotiations and return with the final contract for council consideration.
