Summary
The committee approved a cooperative purchase for new recycling/refuse carts, a change order for CNG fueling-station maintenance, developer cost-share sewer agreements, and contract time extensions for storm drainage work; items were approved by voice vote at the March 26 meeting.
The Public Works & Infrastructure Committee approved several procurement and contract items on March 26, including new refuse and recycling carts, maintenance for compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations, developer cost-sharing for sewer upgrades, and contract timing alignment for storm drainage work.
Recycling and refuse carts
Eugene McKenna of the Sanitation Division presented agenda item 2026-0510: a cooperative agreement (contract 12324) to procure various sizes of plastic refuse and recycling carts from a vendor identified in the meeting (listed as Raric/R-Rig Pacific Company) not to exceed $654,271. McKenna said working with the local vendor will improve turnaround and inventory and confirmed the carts include lid messaging (an "emboldened sticker") to communicate recycling rules. Commissioners approved the item.
CNG maintenance
A change order (agenda item 2026-0579) to continue on-call fueling-station maintenance for CNG fueling stations at county facilities (Seminole Road landfill and central transfer station) for up to $35,000 through Nov. 30, 2026 was presented by McKenna and approved.
Developer cost-sharing and storm-drain contracts
Director Wells presented two cost-sharing sewer agreements: Wesley Woods Senior Living (agenda item 2026-0661) with a developer contribution of $591,500 and a county contribution not to exceed $185,000, and Related Development LLC (agenda item 2026-0662) with a developer contribution of $922,500 tied to infrastructure improvements at 2601 Brier Cliff Road (projects include residential units, commercial space and a hotel). Both agreements were approved.
Staff also requested holding several watershed management procurements (agenda items 2026-0604, 0606, 0613, 0627) pending an audit report; commissioners voted to hold those items. Director Allen requested a contract time-extension for storm-drainage infrastructure service contracts (agenda item 2026-0617) to align with GIFA loan drawdown schedules (no additional funds requested); the extension was approved.
Trails and Path Foundation
The committee renewed a five-year master agreement with the Path Foundation (agenda item 2026-0588) to provide professional expertise on trails and to enable the county to accept funds and technical guidance; staff said specific construction projects would still be competitively bid. Commissioners approved the master agreement renewal.
