The City completed a potable water service inventory which identified over 1,600 galvanized potable water service lines in need of replacement. Staff evaluated available procurement options and determined that utilizing the Seacoast Utility Authority Pipeline Continuing Contractors Program provides an efficient and cost-effective mechanism to complete the work.
Amici Engineering Contractors LLC has experience performing utility infrastructure improvements and will provide replacement of both single and double potable water services, including short and long service installations.
Due to the varying field conditions and unknown underground utility conflicts commonly associated with water service replacement projects, the exact quantities and service configurations cannot be fully determined in advance. Accordingly, City staff and the contractor will closely monitor project progress and expenditures to maximize the amount of work completed within the authorized budget.
Staff reviewed the contractor’s unit pricing under the continuing services contract and determined the pricing to be fair, reasonable, and favorable to the City.
