Task force hears basin-by-basin stormwater master plan update; RFP for Treasure Island due soon
Summary
Staff told the task force Harbour Island is ~60% designed (Ribic Engineering), Nor Bay Island design is complete with utilities planned to go under the causeway, and Treasure Island is being restructured with an RFP draft expected next week to pursue a single streamlined consultant for construction and design work.
Staff briefed the Sustainability & Resiliency Task Force on the stormwater master plan, dividing the village into three basins with varying design and construction status.
The update said Harbour Island is roughly 60% through design with Ribic Engineering handling site-level work; Nor Bay Island is in pre-construction with utilities routed via the causeway to avoid eminent-domain acquisition of private parcels and ongoing coordination with FPL; Treasure Island is the most challenging basin—multiple consultants were dissolved and staff is preparing a consolidated RFP with the goal of presenting it to the commission in June.
Staff acknowledged technical and procurement complexities and said they aim to finalize quotes and push designs to 100% for Harbour Island once surveying and underground utility information is secured. The task force and staff discussed undergrounding utilities to allow for more tree planting and streetscape improvements, and flagged the need to review pump-station designs and capacity to meet future sea-level conditions.
Staff expects to circulate an RFP draft for Treasure Island next week and asked members to provide input through the public agenda process rather than offline to remain compliant with Sunshine requirements.
