Body
Background Information:
On January 12, 2024, the Purchasing Department, on behalf of the Utilities Department, released an invitation to bid with the intent to establish a contract PID 001933DEF Sanitary Sewer CIPP Rehabilitation - Various Locations including Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, Curlew City, Bardmoor, Kenneth City, Belleair & Belleair Bluffs.
Recent evaluations of the sanitary sewer pipes in the project areas have revealed structural defects and infiltration in the existing gravity mains. Gravity sewer mains collect sewage flow from residential and commercial properties and convey the flow to interceptors and treatment facilities. Interruption of flow to these pipes due to breaks would impact a number of sanitary sewer customers and cause significant environmental and/or health concerns if sewage is discharged from the piping system. Rehabilitation to the pipe system to address the recent evaluation findings is a fundamental investment in County infrastructure to continue to meet our service needs while maintaining first-class services to our community. As a result of the rehabilitation processes proposed in this project, it is anticipated that at least fifty (50) years of service life will be added to the rehabilitated pipes.
