Summary
Council unanimously awarded a $1,350,016.75 contract to American Construction Services Inc. for the Bonnie Brae Water Main Relocation and Replacement Project Phase 1, funded from the water and sewer utilities fund; staff said the work replaces aging infrastructure and fits the capital improvement plan.
Temple Terrace City Council unanimously approved a resolution awarding a $1,350,016.75 construction contract to American Construction Services Inc. for the Bonnie Brae Water Main Relocation and Replacement Project, Phase 1.
Public Works staff said the existing water main in the Bonnie Brae area is aging and in need of relocation and replacement to improve reliability, maintain pressure and reduce emergency repairs. Jason Warrenfelds explained the project was bid in accordance with procurement rules and that American Construction Services was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder among the submissions.
Warrenfelds told council the budget had $2,000,000 allocated for the work and the recommended contract amount is approximately $1.35 million, leaving budgeted contingency. He also noted a typographical error in a whereas clause of the draft resolution and corrected a digits transposition in the record.
Council members asked about bid consistency and whether lower bids risked omitted services; staff explained bidders submitted unit‑price breakdowns and the evaluation verified completeness. The council voted to award the contract and authorized the city manager to execute contract documents and pay the contract amount from the water and sewer utilities fund.
The resolution passed unanimously with no nays recorded.
