AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Request for Proposals for the operations
and maintenance of existing and new air curtain systems and weed gates for canals.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County has one existing air curtain in operation on Canal 266 in Big
Pine Key, for which an MSBU is in place to fund the operations and maintenance, repairs and
replacement of the system. The County anticipates installing 15 or more air curtains or physical
weed gates in the next 5 years as canal restorations from the Canal Work Plan are completed. Weed
gates/air curtains are needed after a restoration is completed to keep out floating vegetation in those
restorations and to maintain the restored water quality. Operations and maintenance services are
needed to be routinely performed and include the cost of power, repairs, replacement of parts and
routine cleaning. Optional services may include replacement in the event of severe damage from a
storm or boat, or when the system is at the end of its life cycle. This solicitation will seek one or
more respondents to provide those services. By combining the services for several canals under one
contract, it is anticipated there may be cost efficiencies. Any cost savings can then be passed on in
the form of lower assessments to the residents who will be funding the program.
