Home My WebLink About08.b EDB KH WWTF Unsolicited Proposal Rejection EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA ITEM: Recommendation to Reject the Unsolicited Proposal for Design and Construction of New Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Keystone Heights (Proposal) Date: October 29, 2026 BACKGROUND: Staff received the attached unsolicited proposal from Mack Industries (Mack) for the design and construction of a new 0.350 million gallons per day(MGD) Water Reclamation Facility(WRF)to replace the existing 0.074 MGD facility. In accordance with Florida Statute §255.065, Staff presented the proposal to the Board of Supervisors at its October 6, 2026, meeting for disclosure. Following receipt and disclosure of the proposal, Staff conducted an internal review to evaluate its alignment with CCUA's operational needs, strategic objectives, and applicable procurement requirements. DISCUSSION: Based on this review, Staff has determined that pursuing the unsolicited proposal for the Design and Construction of a New Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Keystone Heights is not in CCUA's best interest at this time. Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Board authorize the rejection of the proposal and direct Staff to provide formal written notification of its decision to the proposer. This action does not preclude CCUA from independently evaluating or pursuing similar projects or services through future procurement opportunities, as deemed appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and CCUA's Procurement Policy. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the Board of Supervisors' authorization to reject the unsolicited proposal submitted by Mack Industries for Design and Construction of New Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Keystone Heights and authorize Staff to issue formal written notification of rejection.
