FOR VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY'S WASTEWATER AND

Description: The City of Opa-locka has contracted for the design of four (4) pump stations as
part of its Wastewater Infrastructure Rehabilitation Program. These four (4) priority stations are
at varying stages of design and plans are expected to be completed by September 2009. This
agenda item would allow the City of Opa-locka to expedite the procurement process to select a
contractor in order build these improvements as well as qualify for local and federal funding by
being shovel ready within prescribed deadlines.
Financial Impact: These three (3) pump stations were funded as part of the City's FY 2009
budget under the capital projects section and therefore will have no adverse financial impact.
Rather, the operational costs savings of new stations together with the capacity for new
residences and businesses to connect to the wastewater collection system will have great
economic and health benefits for the entire community.

Implementation Time Line: This Request for Qualification will be issued within thirty
(30) days and the procurement process (selection & award) is expected to be completed by
September 2009 before the end of the fiscal year in order to meet deadlines for funding
opportunities targeted by the City.
Legislative History: N/A
Recommendation(s): By improving three (3) additional pump stations, the City will
greatly improve the ability of the wastewater system to attract new customers and growth. These
improvements will also address compliance to environmental regulations applicable to local
municipalities in Miami-Dade County. Furthermore, by expediting the timing of this RFQ, the
City will have a unique opportunity to meet grant application deadlines for shovel-ready projects
funded by the stimulus package as well as other possible local, state and federal sources.
