Multiple utility and capital items were reviewed in detail during the agenda‑review session as staff asked council for direction to move several contracts onto the formal meeting agenda.

Sodium hypochlorite: utilities staff recommended continuing to piggyback on a City of Plantation contract with Allied Universal for sodium hypochlorite used for disinfection. The current unit price is $1.55 per gallon; staff presented a proposed renewal at $1.65 per gallon, a roughly 6% increase. Annual usage estimates were 300,000 gallons at the water plant and 140,000 gallons at the wastewater plant, producing an estimated annual cost of about $730,000.

On‑call well rehabilitation: staff recommended awarding an on‑call contract to Florida Design Drilling (FDD) for well rehab and construction work (three years plus two one‑year renewals). No funds would be authorized today; the contract secures unit prices for emergency and planned work tied to the village’s 10‑year well capital plan.

Injection‑well mechanical integrity testing: per state permit requirements, staff recommended awarding the MIT contract for the deep injection well to All Web’s Enterprises (low bid $86,400) with an additional $15,000 owner control contingency for a total award of $101,400; a hydrogeologist’s construction‑phase certification ($32,614) is included in previously authorized funds and the capital budget.

Pump purchases and sole‑source service: staff requested authorization for a sole‑source piggyback contract with Xylem for Flygt pumps (annual spend up to $250,000) to standardize equipment across 105 sewage lift stations (216 pumps). Staff noted repair/impeller options to reduce full replacements.

Sodium hydroxide storage and MIT testing: staff proposed a $73,223 design task order with Hazen & Sawyer to replace two 25‑year‑old sodium hydroxide tanks and associated pumps and electrical work; project design funds are in the capital plan.

PFAS settlement funds: staff reported a PFAS settlement receipt of $780,416.58, bringing village collections to $5,228,322.43; staff proposed a budget amendment to allocate the new payment toward membrane‑plant master plan projects and ongoing expansions (project to add ~1.8 million gpd of membrane capacity is underway).

Next steps: staff will place these procurement and budget items on the formal council agenda; several items require formal authorization and potential competitive procurement steps. No final votes were taken at the agenda‑review meeting.
