DeBary approves $334,525 pipelining contract to rehabilitate Glen Abbey storm pipes; state grant to cover cost
Summary
Council approved a $334,525 proposal for pipelining 2,662 linear feet of stormwater pipe in the Glen Abbey subdivision using grant funding from the Florida Legislature; staff said the state grant is budgeted in the stormwater fund and will be reimbursed by the state.
The City Council approved a contract proposal from Inliner Solutions LLC (piggybacked through Volusia County master agreement) for pipelining services to rehabilitate stormwater piping in the Glen Abbey subdivision.
Kevin Hair (K Hair Construction) presented the contractor’s proposal dated July 1, 2024, describing a Phase 1 scope of 2,662 lineal feet of pipelining work priced at $334,525. Staff said the city entered a piggyback agreement with Inliner Solutions and developed the scope from closed‑circuit TV inspections.
City staff confirmed funding for the project will be drawn from a $7,750,000 grant the city received from the Florida Legislature and budgeted in the stormwater fund; staff said the legislative grants will reimburse work deposited in the stormwater fund. The city manager noted the state has contributed more than $1.5 million toward rehabilitation work in Glen Abbey and the nearby Summerhaven subdivision to date.
Staff recommended approval; the contractor expected to mobilize in roughly 60 days and complete the work in about 30 days. Council moved and approved the proposal and recorded unanimous votes.
Why this matters: The Glen Abbey pipes were built with corrugated metal in the 1970s and staff said sections have reached the end of service life; pipelining rehabilitates the pipes and is intended to preserve conveyance for decades without open‑cut replacement.
Next steps: Staff will authorize mobilization once the contract is executed and schedule the work; the city will seek reimbursement from the state grant funding consistent with the piggyback and grant terms.
