<br />On April 13, 2021, the BCC approved the American Rescue Plan (ARP) spending plan, which included a
<br />$6,000,000 allocation towards the SCRO project. In order for these expenses to be eligible for ARP funding,
<br />federal clauses must be included in the contract documents. Because bids were already accepted at the time
<br />of BCC approval of the ARP funding for the project, federal requirements will need to be added to the
<br />agreement. Staff recommends the BCC award to TLC Diversified, and if that firm declines to accept the
<br />additional clauses, authorize staff to reach out to each subsequent low, responsive, and responsible bidder
<br />to determine if they will honor their bid price and accept the addition of federal clauses to the agreement.
<br />Should TLC decline, the changes, staff will bring an updated award recommendation to the BCC.
<br />Funding:
<br />Funds for this project are derived from the South Reverse Osmosis (S R/0) Membrane & Retrofit account
<br />in the Utilities operating fund. Utilities operating funds are generated from water and sewer sales.
<br />Additionally, $6,000,000 in ARP funding, if federal contractual objectives can be met, may be utilized to
<br />fund a portion of the overall project, which will be added as a reimbursement to the Utilities fund.
<br />Note: Staff did apply for cost -share grant funding to offset a portion of the construction cost, but was
<br />unable to acquire. Also, FY 2021-2022 legislative appropriations of $1,129,668 were approved by the
<br />Florida House and Senate, but was unfortunately not funded when the Governor did a line -item veto.
<br />Staff would like to thank Representative Erin Grall and Senator Debbie Mayfield for their help and
<br />support of this legislative request.
