Punta Gorda agenda includes downtown stormwater contracts, SCADA sole-source and software maintenance awards

At the July 9 pre-agenda meeting, Punta Gorda City staff previewed several procurement and contract items slated for council consideration, including stormwater management work, wastewater treatment plant improvements and software purchases.

Agenda materials listed purchase of Tiger Dams, an award agreement to Kim Lee Horn for downtown stormwater management evaluation and construction engineering, and an authorization for construction engineering services on wastewater treatment plant chemical‑feed system improvements. Staff also noted a blanket sole‑source authorization with Central Square Technologies for integrated software products and maintenance and a lone-source recommendation for the SCADA telemetry system.

No formal votes were recorded during the pre-agenda session. Staff presented each item for council review and flagged the SCADA and Central Square items as sole-source procurements for which staff sought council authorization. The stormwater and wastewater engineering items were presented as awards/authorizations pending contract execution.

Council did not take final action at the pre-agenda meeting; the items will appear on the regular agenda for formal approval or further discussion. The pre-agenda exchange did not include detailed contract dollar amounts or contract terms.
