Consent

The following resolution will be presented:

1. The Stormwater and Engineering Department will present a resolution approving a work order with Freese & Nichols, Inc., for the design and construction engineering services for the Water Treatment Plant #1 wellfield expansion, equip wells SW-24 & SW-25, and raw water extension project.

2. The Human Resources Department will present a resolution approving the selection of Brown & Brown Insurance Services, Inc., as the agent of record for employee benefit services.
3. The Utility Department will present a resolution approving a master service agreement with P & S Paving, Inc., to resurface a section of Florida Park Drive after sewer force main installation. The City of Palm Coast Utility Department installed a new force main on Florida Park Drive to prevent backups and spills during heavy rains, improving compliance and residents' quality of life. A resurfacing project for the affected roadway, funded in the FY 2025 Utilities Operations budget, will restore safe travel conditions.
4. The Utility Department will present a resolution approving a master service agreement with Prolime Corporation for Water Treatment Plant 1 drying bed cleaning. The City of Palm Coast will contract Prolime Corporation to remove 4,450 cubic yards of lime sludge from Water Treatment Plant 1, funded through the FY 2025 Utilities budget.
5. The Public Works Department will present a resolution approving the RFP-PW-25-17 master services agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc., for disaster monitoring services. This agreement ensures compliance with FEMA requirements for monitoring debris hauling during disasters but will only be used if needed, with funding from the Disaster Reserve account. 
6. The Public Works Department will present a resolution approving the accelerated replacement of fleet asset #1799, a Mac truck. The current Mac truck is beyond its useful life and requires costly repairs. Replacing Asset #1799 would provide a reliable vehicle for Utilities while supporting uninterrupted operations. This plan also allows future replacement of Asset #1799 to align with wastewater treatment plant upgrades.

Public Comments will be opened at the beginning and end of the business meeting in accordance with Section 286.0114 Florida Statutes and pursuant to the City Council’s Meeting Policies and Procedures. Each speaker will approach the podium, provide his/her name, and may speak for up to 3 minutes.
