Staff recommends directional drill to limit road restoration for Masterpiece force‑main; questions remain on piggyback quotes
Summary
Public Works outlined two sewer items: a piggybacked cleaning contract for force mains and a proposed force‑main extension. Staff recommended directional drill construction at $368,240 with Lopez Underground Construction and $116,943 in materials from Hayes Pipe Supply; commissioners asked staff to provide signed quotes and clearer documentation before formal approval.
Public Works briefed the commission on multiple wastewater items, asking the commission to approve expenditures for force‑main cleaning (using a piggyback arrangement) and a force‑main extension along Masterpiece and Buckmore that ties into a recently installed lift station.
On cleaning, staff said Professional Piping Services provided pricing referenced from Ormond Beach’s bid packet and that the packet includes per‑foot prices; a commissioner said he could not find those documents in the book and asked staff to supply the specific quote and pricing exhibits before the commission votes.
For the Masterpiece extension, staff reported obtaining three bids and recommended Lopez Underground Construction for the labor. Staff said Lopez provided two pricing options; the city selected directional drilling to avoid extensive road and driveway restoration, at a quoted cost of $368,240. Materials would be supplied by Hayes Pipe Supply for $116,943; staff said Hayes was not the lowest bidder but the most responsive, having identified omitted parts in the plans. Commissioners asked for signed agreements or clearer procurement documentation for both contractor labor and material orders before action is taken.
No formal approvals were taken at the work session; staff said necessary quotes and contract documents would be added to the commission packet before the vote.
