Summary
The board approved a $1,376,191.28 purchase order to Murphy Pipeline Contractors to replace about 3,000 linear feet of force main at two locations prone to repeated breaks; the vote was unanimous.
The Riviera Beach Utility Special District on April 15 unanimously approved a purchase order to Murphy Pipeline Contractors for up to $1,376,191.28 to replace approximately 3,000 linear feet of force main at two city locations identified after repeated breaks.
Director Joshua Neiman described the scope as replacement of force mains ranging from 6 to 4 inches between West 30th Street and Lift Station 8 and between Avenue P and Lift Station 32. He said staff targeted the stretches after reviewing hot spots with multiple past failures and that the work will use a pipe-bursting method intended to limit surface disruption.
The board moved and voted to approve the resolution; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from board members present and the measure passed without objection.
Staff did not describe a construction start date in the public discussion; board members approved the measure and asked no substantive follow-up questions during the meeting.
