Subject: Approval to Extend Existing Contract for Continuing Water Quality Professional
Services. (Public Works Director Krug)
Background Summary:
The City entered into a contract with WSP, formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc.
(WOOD), in 2019 to meet 1) the annual stormwater monitoring and reporting requirements set forth in our
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and 2) the 4e Nutrient Reduction Plan
established between the City, FDEP, and WSP for Starke Lake and Lake Prima Vista. The City and the
County are co-permittees under the same NPDES Multiple Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) permit, so
the Public Works Department elected to utilize the same contractor as the County for continuity by
piggybacking off of the County’s contract with WSP; however, the current term of the County’s contract (Y20-
906C) has expired. Public Works is requesting Commission approval to extend the existing contract with WSP
until such time as the new contract (Y23-905MB) is awarded, in order to provide continuity of monitoring of
nine (9) lakes and four (4) major outfalls within the City. Public Works recommends approval of the extension
as WSP continues to provide a proactive NPDES monitoring program.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve extending the existing contract for stormwater
monitoring and reporting with WSP?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve to extend the existing stormwater
monitoring and reporting contract with WSP, until such time as the new Orange County contract is executed,
by which the City may then piggyback.
Attachments:
None
Financial Impacts:
The stormwater monitoring and reporting is adequately funded by the Public Works Stormwater Division.
