Subject: Approval of Florida Concrete Enterprises as a Single Source Vendor for
Miscellaneous Utilities Concrete Repairs. (Utilities Director Bolling)
Background Summary:
The Utilities Department maintains approximately 387 miles of potable water, reclaimed water and sewage
lines located throughout the City of Ocoee. When maintenance or repairs to these lines are needed beneath
or near sidewalks, small sections of sidewalk must be removed for the repair and replaced after the repair is
completed. Due to the small scope of these repairs, the City’s regular sidewalk contractors are unable to
respond in an expedited and cost-effective manner. Staff contacted Florida Concrete Enterprises (FCE), a
Central Florida company that specializes in small-scale concrete repairs, for sidewalk replacement needed as
the result of utilities repairs. FCE recently completed the installation of a concrete pad at the wastewater
treatment plant and expedited sidewalk repairs in (17) different areas of the City, resulting in a cumulative
expenditure of $50,000.00 to date. Any additional work by FCE will cause the cumulative total to exceed the
City Manager’s approval level of $50,000.00.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve Florida Concrete Enterprises as a Single
Source vendor for miscellaneous utilities-related concrete repairs and approve the issuance of a blanket
purchase order in the amount of $25,862.00 for any additional repairs needed in Fiscal Year 2024-25?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve Florida Concrete Enterprises as a
Single Source vendor for miscellaneous utilities-related concrete repairs and approve the issuance of a
blanket purchase order in the amount of $25,862.00 for any additional repairs needed in Fiscal Year 2024-
25. Staff also recommends the City Manager be authorized to approve future purchases with Florida Concrete
Enterprises up to the limit of his purchasing authority for each purchase.
