BACKGROUND:
Background
Stormwater has the required funds as part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 budget. This project budget is a combination of Stormwater & Grant monies from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
When the City of Deltona was incorporated, it inherited an existing stormwater force main located along the rear of properties within a 10-foot drainage and utility easement. At the time, impacts on homes were limited. However, the area is now nearly built out, making access to the ageing 8-inch force main extremely difficult. Staff has also faced challenges completing timely repairs when the force main is needed to support pumping operations during storms, hurricanes, and rainy seasons.
The relocation and upsizing of the force main provides the City ease of implementation of pumping activities; access for any requisite repairs and mitigates any liability to the City to private property should the existing force main fail.
The project bid specifications and plans (Bid #26027) were submitted on Demand Star, Thursday, September 10, 2026. There was a mandatory pre-bid held on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and bids were submitted and opened on Monday, October 12, 2026 @ 3pm. There were ten (10) qualified bids received. The qualified low bidder was GPS Civil Construction, Inc. with a bid of $1,059,391.00. GPS has performed utility work in the past for The City of Deltona with positive results and no negative issues.
Due to the pending deadline to expend the required ARPA funds by December 31, 2026, if the City is unable to move forward with GPS Civil Construction, Inc. the City Manager will move to the second lowest bid with Carr & Collier, Inc.
The total cost, to include contingencies, shall not exceed $1,618,770 without seeking Commission approval.
