Council ratifies four emergency water-main expenditures totaling roughly $254,000
Summary
The council unanimously ratified multiple emergency water-main repairs and a change order: $32,569.14 (Johnson Davis Inc.), $87,804.45 (Hinterland Group Inc.), $92,233.46 (Johnson Davis Inc.), and change order #5 for $41,199.50 — all actions approved 5-0 and flagged for future budget amendments as needed.
Council ratified a series of emergency expenditures to keep Lantana's water system operational and to complete a major water-main replacement. Public services staff explained that aging AC and steel pipes and an aerial main failure required immediate action to maintain water service and public safety; the work involved multiple contractors.
The four ratified expenditures were: $32,569.14 to Johnson Davis Inc. for an aerial water-main repair (ratified after staff used emergency authorization); $87,804.45 to Hinterland Group Inc. for a broken AC water main in the 1300 block of West Drew Street; $92,233.46 to Johnson Davis Inc. for repair and valve replacement on East Ocean Avenue; and a $41,199.50 change order with Johnson Davis Inc. to finish the West Pine Street project at the FEC railway crossing. Council approved each ratification by voice vote, 5-0, and council members asked staff about replacement phasing; staff noted AC pipe will be prioritized in multi-phase replacements and any negative budget impacts will be addressed in future amendments.
Provenance: emergency-ratification items presented sequentially in the 8B-8D agenda block.
