RE: OLD WATER PLANT INVITATION TO BID
Request: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA-
LOCKA, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
ADVERTISE AND ISSUE AN INVITATION TO BID FOR QUALIFIED
FIRMS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE OLD WATER PLANT.
Description: The City of Opa-Locka requires the services of a qualified demolition contractor to
undertake the demolition and clearing of the Old Water Plant and adjacent well fields. This work
necessitates proper qualification to demolish the structures and safely abandon the existing potable water
wells.
Financial Impact: The cost for demolishing the Old Water Plant has been budgeted at $80,000. The
demolition may also be a potential revenue source for the City by sharing in the proceeds from the sale of
the steel for recycling.
Implementation Timeline:
July 22, 2009 : Commission authorize advertisement for Demolition Bids
July 26, 2009 : Advertisement for Demolition Bids
August 14, 2009 : Bids due date
September 9, 2009: Commission approves the best responsible bidder
September 21, 2009: Demolition of Water Plant begins
Legislative History: None
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Analysis: The Old Water Plant has been decommissioned for several years and can not be rehabbed for
future use. Aesthetically, it has become an eyesore to surrounding community and a safety concern due
to illegal trespassing, several occurrences of small fires and the increase of illegal acts, such as drug
trafficking, occurring on and near the premises.
