Commission approves contract, accepts two DEP wastewater grant resolutions
Summary
At its July 14 budget workshop the Fort Pierce City Commission approved a $390,648.22 construction contract on the consent agenda and unanimously approved two resolutions authorizing and assigning a Florida DEP wastewater resilience grant for the Phase 2 project.
The City of Fort Pierce Commission approved a construction contract and two grant-related resolutions during its July 14 budget workshop.
On the consent agenda the commission voted to approve a construction contract with RK Contractors Inc. for the Little Gym Camp sanitary improvements, bid number 2025-008, in the amount of $390,648.22. The transcript records a motion and second and a roll-call vote that showed three commissioners voting yes and one abstention (Commissioner Taylor). Commissioner Broderick told the commission he would recuse himself from the item before discussion; the roll call that followed recorded Broderick voting yes and Taylor abstaining. The record therefore contains both Broderick’s statement that he intended to recuse and a roll-call entry showing a yes vote.
The commission also adopted two resolutions tied to a State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) standard grant for wastewater resilience and adaptation, Phase 2: - Resolution 25-R-52 authorizing execution of the DEP standard grant agreement for the wastewater resilience and adaptation Phase 2 project; the commission approved the resolution by roll call (vote: yes). - Resolution 25-R-53 authorizing assignment of the DEP standard grant agreement for the wastewater resilience and adaptation Phase 2 project to the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority; the commission approved the resolution by roll call (vote: yes). Commissioners publicly thanked the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority grants team for securing the funding.
Also in routine business the commission approved minutes and accepted the agenda as read.
Notes on the record: The transcript contains an inconsistency on the Little Gym Camp contract vote: Commissioner Broderick announced he would recuse himself from the item, but the roll-call recorded Broderick voting "Yes." The commission’s official minutes and any posted certified roll-call tally should be consulted for the formal voting record.
