The commission approved a $140,520 guaranteed maximum price for the marina restroom ADA-compliance project; a $54,326 budget transfer and procurement with Ovation Construction for guardrail repairs along US 17-92 and West 9th Street (the amount is somewhat garbled in the transcript); an $888,000 budget transfer for a rental generator and transfer switch at the North Wastewater Plant; and landscape services from BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. for $418,390. It also approved a sand-filter replacement change order/purchase order associated with Carr & Collier, with no amount stated, and a $3 million procurement with Middlesex Paving LLC.

The listed procurement motions passed unanimously.

The commission also considered a continued rezoning request for 30.88 acres at 401 Lake Placid Drive, from medium-density residential to planned development. The motion to accept the plan with conditions passed unanimously; conditions discussed included emergency-only secondary access, landscaping and pond design, and traffic-calming measures coordinated with Public Works. Other agenda items included proclamations, a resolution rejecting hate and bigotry, appointments to the firefighters’ pension board, and commissioner reports. No additional procurement actions were identified in those discussions.
