Body
SUMMARY:
On May 7, 2020, City Council approved an In-Kind Project with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to satisfy a Settlement Agreement, Executed Consent Order OGC File 20-0100 for an amount of $80,388.96. This request for an additional amount of $49,912.00 is being undertaken as part of a separate Settlement Agreement, Executed Consent Order OGC File No 21-0522 with FDEP bringing the cumulative total spent on SmartCover Systems to $130,300.96. These purchases represent an expansion of and continued upgrade to the current wastewater collection system manholes which will assist in preventing, and/or reducing the severity of overflows and customer backups in the monitored portions of our wastewater collection system rather than only clean-up after the fact.
Tencarva Machinery CO LLC, dba Hudson Pump & Equipment Associates, Inc. is the sole Municipal Distributor for SmartCover Systems for the State of Florida for the purchase of new manhole level monitoring systems complete with associated telemetry equipment plus data communications service which will be utilized to monitor wastewater collection system manhole sewage level heights and issue an alert that sanitary sewer levels may be increasing, allowing them to be cleaned proactively and prevent overflows and customer backups.
