Staff discusses C‑14 pump station project: backflow valves bid near $868,000; Shenandoah appears low responsive bidder
Summary
City staff presented bids for backflow (Wapro/duckbill) valves and associated work as part of the C‑14 pump station project; the low responsive bid from Shenandoah General Construction was about $868,000 and staff said appropriations have been previously allocated to cover the work.
Staff reviewed results of a procurement for backflow valves and related installation as part of the city’s C‑14 pump station project on Kimberly Boulevard. The recommended device is a Wapro (duckbill) valve to prevent stormwater backflow into the system; staff said multiple Florida jurisdictions use the solution. Bids returned with Shenandoah General Construction as the low responsive bidder at about $868,000, with the next lowest bids notably higher.
Staff noted prior appropriations earmarked for the project and said the backflow valve work is part of a larger pump station and stormwater package. Commissioners asked about the procurement terms 'lowest responsive and responsible bidder' and staff explained the distinction. The transcript recorded bid figures but did not capture a final award vote during the excerpt provided.
