In describing the new sanitary sewer system and rate study, the Village states its intent to retain ownership of the lift stations and collection assets but to contract with the Village of Bay Harbor Islands for operation and maintenance services. Wastewater will be conveyed to a main lift station and transmitted to a 16" mainline at 91st Street and Collins Avenue, with treatment at an off-site regional facility, requiring clear interlocal arrangements and service standards. This indicates open planning for an O&M outsourcing model, but no finalized interlocal agreement or contract details are provided in the materials.Vendors can position around helping structure the O&M contract, providing third-party operations support, SCADA and remote monitoring solutions, maintenance management systems, or advisory work on service-level agreements and performance metrics. It also signals potential long-term integration work between Indian Creek’s assets, Bay Harbor Islands operations, and regional treatment provider systems.

The O&M approach involves an interlocal service model, not yet documented here as a completed agreement, creating a window to influence contract design and related systems.
