Sole Source - Sawgrass Lake TryMarine Treatment

The City of Port St. Lucie is seeking to enter into a non-competitive contract for the purchase of water remediation services using TryMarine, a sustainable and eco-friendly solution. The services will be used to improve the water quality of Sawgrass Lake, a city-owned stormwater management tract. The contract is expected to be for three years, with an estimated annual expenditure of $424,058. The city has determined that SOLitude Lake Management is the sole provider of TryMarine and has negotiated a price that is considered fair and reasonable. * The services will include the application of TryMarine to the lake, which is expected to break down organic bottom muck, reduce nutrient overload, and restore water quality. * The city has employed treatment procedures in the past, but this will be a new contract for a different type of treatment. * The contract will be for a three-year period, with the option for renewal. * The city is seeking to improve the water quality of Sawgrass Lake, which has experienced degraded conditions in recent years.
