| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| The City has a Design/Build contract agreement with Lanzo Construction Co. (Lanzo) for work associated with the neighborhood improvements to be completed within the Sunset Harbour Neighborhood including landscaping, lighting, water, sewer, drainage and paving, and the retrofit of the three pump stations.
The Public Works Department has identified the need to improve the existing Pump Station System in the event of power failure during a storm event in the neighborhood. Any occurrence of power failure requires an immediate response from the Infrastructure (Operations) Division to ensure that drainage system will protect the area from flooding.
Also as part of the beautification of the streets, the residents have requested to include additional landscaping to enhance the current layout.
COST ANALYSIS
The landscaping work includes the installation of typical trees like Green Buttonwood, Silver Buttonwood, and Bulnesia, soil, tree protection, and ancillary work. The installation of the trees and associated landscaping work can be accomplished utilizing existing contracts that the City already has in place.
Caterpillar generators are preferred as this brand of generator is in service at a majority of the City’s facilities. The City has the ability to contract directly with Pantropic Power, Inc. for the supplying and installation of Caterpillar generators. This company is the sole authorized representative for Caterpillar in South Florida. The Public Works Department recommends proceeding directly with Pantropic with the required emergency generator power work.
The Public Works Department has received proposals from Lanzo to perform the proposed scope of work. However, the approach outlined above appears to be a better option to completing the work in a timely fashion. By taking this approach, it is believed that this should allow Lanzo to finish the work they already have under contract while the generators and trees are waiting to be delivered. The installation can follow as soon as Lanzo vacates the work areas. This approach should also reduce the price and eliminate any cost markups associated with overhead and profit.

| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION
| The most expeditious method to install the necessary landscaping to complete the neighborhood and provide emergency generation of power for the pump stations in Sunset Harbour is by contracting directly with a City landscaping contractor and the authorized Caterpillar dealer.
The Administration recommends adopting the resolution following the recommendation of the Public Works Department.
