Infrastructure Advisory Board Meeting on September 8, 2026

The City of Fort Lauderdale's Infrastructure Advisory Board met on September 8, 2026, to discuss updates and ongoing projects related to the city's water and wastewater infrastructure. Key procurement-related topics included the progress of various capital improvement projects such as the pump station (55% complete), the Victoria Park neighborhood stormwater project (25% complete), and the Southeast Isles design nearing 90% completion. The board also discussed the water and wastewater master plan, with Jacobs Engineering selected as the highest-ranked firm to update the 2017 master plan under a contract capped at $4.6 million, with an initial task order of approximately $3 million. The plan includes assessments of infrastructure condition, demand projections, regulatory compliance, and system modeling. The board addressed funding and contract negotiations for new pump stations and related infrastructure, including a $500,000 grant for the Prospect Lake Clean Water Center High Service Pump Station and other projects. A motion was passed authorizing the chair to sign letters of support for these capital projects to assist in securing state and federal funding. The meeting also emphasized the importance of public communication regarding infrastructure improvements and ongoing work to reduce infiltration and inflow in the wastewater system.
