Body
SUMMARY:
On March 7, 2024, City Council approved the original contract award to Inliner Solutions for $500,000.00. Then on September 17, 2024, Council approved an increase of $1,600,000.00, bringing the funding for year one to $2,100,000.00.
The Inliner contract is currently in year two (April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026) of the four-year contract term. Funding is allocated annually to perform inspection and lining of stormwater pipes, primarily based on average pipe diameters within the City’s stormwater conveyance system. Following a blockage that occurred during Hurricane Milton, Inliner was directed to line three 60-inch diameter stormwater pipes along Stewart Boulevard. These large diameter repairs were initially scheduled for completion during the first of the contract, when sufficient funding was available. However, they were postponed due to Public Works’ focus on storm recovery and response efforts and related scheduling delays. Lining the 60-inch pipes provided on Stewart provided a cost-effective and timely repair alternative to open cut replacement, minimizing disruption to the surrounding residents.
The unused funding under this project that was allocated for year one will be carried forward to year two, allowing for the inspection and lining of planned pipe segments in addition to the repair and lining of the larger pipes on Stewart Blvd. Funding for the years three and four will remain at $500,000.00 annually.
