Board awards 25 'as-needed' engineering contracts, creating $1.25M capacity for smaller tasks
Summary
Tampa Bay Water recommended and the board approved awarding 25 as-needed engineering contracts for up to $1.25 million total capacity, with individual tasks up to $500,000 (larger tasks require board approval).
James Smith, a professional engineer in Tampa Bay Water's engineering department, summarized a competitive procurement that yielded 25 recommended firms for five-year 'as-needed' engineering contracts. The recommended pool increases the agency's flexibility for design, permitting and technical support on smaller projects.
"There were 25 responses to Tampa Bay Water's invitation for the five year contract, at a value not to exceed $1.25 million, and individual tasks up to 500,000," Smith said. He added that tasks above that amount will require board approval and that the committee evaluated nearly 2,000 pages per reviewer. The board approved the list of 25 contracts unanimously (mover: Commissioner Wostal; seconder: Vice Chair Weightman).
Staff noted awarding the contracts does not obligate the board to immediate expenditures; budgets for tasks will come from the annual rates budget or specific project budgets as approved by the board.
