body
Submitted By: Kevin Eggleston, Procurement Contracting Officer I, Procurement Management Division (PMD).
Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of high-quality infrastructure and facilities.
Summary Brief (Agreements/Contracts only)
1. Prepared by: Kevin Eggleston, Procurement Contracting Officer I, PMD.
2. Parties: City of Port St. Lucie and SAK Construction, LLC.
3. Purpose: To provide trenchless sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation services using cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) technology to restore aging gravity sewer infrastructure, improve structural integrity, and reduce surface disruption throughout the Utility Service Area.
4. New/Renewal/Modified: New.
5. Duration: The term of the agreement is from the date of execution through September 30, 2026.
6. Benefits to Port St. Lucie: Trenchless sanitary sewer rehabilitation significantly reduces surface disturbance, thereby preserving roadways and landscaping while minimizing the impact on residents and businesses. By eliminating the need for extensive excavation, trenchless methods also lower construction costs and shorten project timelines. Furthermore, these technologies provide durable, long-term solutions with service lives exceeding 50 years, comparable to newly installed PVC pipes.
7. Cost to Port St. Lucie (Annual and Potential): The estimated annual cost is $100,000.00.
Presentation Information: N/A.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve, per Code Section 35.08(a)(9), to piggyback the City of Largo #ITB-24-B806 with SAK Construction, LLC for Trenchless Sanitary and Storm Sewer Rehabilitation Services.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve piggybacking the City of Largo #ITB-24-B806 with SAK Construction, LLC.
2. Move that the Council not approve and provide staff with direction.
Background: The Utility Systems Department (“USD”) maintains miles of gravity sanitary sewer pipelines throughout the Utility Service Area. Over time, these pipelines deteriorate due to age and prolonged exposure to hydrogen sulfide, which can weaken pipe walls and joints. This deterioration contributes to increased inflow and infiltration (“I&I”) of stormwater during rain events, resulting in excessive flows that place an added strain on the USD’s wastewater collection system and treatment facilities. Trenchless sanitary sewer rehabilitation uses cured-in-place pipe technology to install a tight-fitting liner within the existing pipe. This process restores structural integrity, prevents future leaks and root intrusion, and extends the service life of the pipeline. These repairs can be completed without excavation, minimizing surface disruption, environmental impacts, and impacts on both public and private property while allowing the USD to address critical infrastructure needs efficiently.
Issues/Analysis: Staff has reviewed the City of Largo’s competitively procured contract with SAK Construction, Inc. and finds that piggybacking on this agreement meets the operational needs of the Utility Systems Department and complies with the City’s procurement requirements. This approach allows the USD to expedite sewer rehabilitation work while obtaining competitive pricing and minimizing administrative time.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the Utility Systems Department account #438-3370-563000.
Special Consideration: N/A.
Location of Project: Utility Service Area.
