Council authorizes $250,000 pipeline rehabilitation contract using Largo piggyback
Summary
The council authorized piggybacking the City of Largo's trenchless sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation contract with SAK Construction LLC, approving $250,000 for pipeline/pipelining services focused on restoring laterals and extending asset life.
The council authorized the town to piggyback the City of Largo’s trenchless sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation contract and to spend $250,000 with SAK Construction LLC for pipeline/pipelining services. Director Crockett said the work focuses on rehabilitating laterals — noting the town has rehabilitated roughly 1% of laterals to date — and described liner technology as inserting a new pipe within the old one, which staff said can extend service life by decades.
Council members asked about expected service‑life gains and pipe materials; staff answered that life‑extension estimates ranged (staff cited 30–50 years) and that the town’s system includes clay, vitrified clay, Orangeburg and other pipe types. The motion to approve the contract and authorize the town manager to execute it passed 5‑0.
