Tequesta awards water‑system supply and membrane replacement contracts
Summary
Council approved a piggyback procurement for water and sewer materials and awarded a contract to H2O Innovation for reverse‑osmosis membrane replacement at the water treatment plant to maintain water‑system reliability; staff said replacing all trains together provides better pricing and efficiency.
The council approved two utilities items: a piggyback agreement to purchase water, sewer and irrigation materials (consolidated pipe supply via Broward County cooperative) for an estimated $50,000 annual spend, and a contract with H2O Innovation to replace reverse‑osmosis membranes at the village water treatment plant (award not to exceed staff‑reported amount).
Utilities staff said membrane replacement was bid with an alternate to replace all trains; after budget review staff recommended replacing membranes in all three trains in a single cash purchase to obtain better pricing and operational efficiency. Two bids were received and H2O Innovation was the low bidder; staff completed reference checks before recommending award.
Council approved both procurement items by motion and unanimous voice vote. Staff said they will return with project schedules and notice‑to‑proceed dates if the contracts are executed.
