Full report
Daytona Beach has moved ahead with two targeted wastewater-facility improvement assignments, approving engineering work for the Bethune Point Water Reclamation Facility’s grit-removal controls and for odor-control improvements at the Westside Regional Water Reclamation Facility.
The City Commission adopted the consent calendar unanimously on September 23, with all seven members voting in favour. Among the actions were Work Authorization No. 14 for McKim & Creed Inc. under the city’s continuing professional-services contract for the Bethune Point WRF grit-removal system, and Work Authorization No. 12 for Hazen and Sawyer under its continuing professional-services contract for odor-control improvements at Westside Regional WRF.
The Bethune Point item is identified in the meeting packet as a grit-removal control-panel replacement. The Westside Regional assignment is identified as odor-control system improvements.
Both actions are professional-services authorizations rather than construction awards. No contract values, delivery schedule, design scope or construction timetable were stated during the commission’s consent-calendar discussion.
The approvals nevertheless place two discrete wastewater treatment-plant needs within the city’s active engineering programme. Grit removal and odor control are separate operational areas, with the commission electing to proceed through established continuing-services arrangements with McKim & Creed and Hazen and Sawyer, respectively.
