Body
Background:
On January 15, 2026, the Purchasing and Contract Administration Division (PCAD), in coordination with the Utilities Department (Utilities) advertised ITB No. 2026-011, for the purpose of solicitation is to seek a vendor to provide pipeline wet taps, line stops, valve insertions to Utilities water and sewer distribution system. On March 4, 2026, the City Rangeline Tapping Services was deemed lowest, most responsive, and responsible bidder. Based upon further due diligence conducted by PCAD, it was found the proposed bid to be fair and reasonable compared to similar in Palm Beach County. The bid award provides an initial three (3) year contract, with two (2) additional one year renewals valid through May 4, 2031.
Utilities performs maintenance and repair activities on water, wastewater, and reclaimed water pipelines throughout the service area. This contract will allow wet tapping, which will allow valve installations without disruption of water service, line stops, which serve as a temporary solution in an emergency situation to stop the flow of water, wastewater, or reclaimed water for repairs to be made, and insertion valves, which can be installed without disruption of service in areas where shutoff valves are needed.
