Summary:
Summary
Pinellas County proposes to upgrade and install liners to the existing 42-inch sewer gravity interceptor to strengthen the pipe, seal all potential cracks, minimize the coefficient of pipe friction, and extend its useful life. The County will also construct approximately two miles of 24-inch parallel bypass sanitary sewer force main to capture the excessive flows during wet weather events along Belcher Road from 84th Avenue North to the County’s South Cross Bayou Advanced Water Reclamation Facility.
Body
Background Information:
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to comply with CCNA, per Florida Statute 287.055, was released on September 6, 2023; the negotiation and scoping process began with McKim & Creed, Inc. on December 6th, 2023, and concluded on May 6th, 2024.
The contract includes fully burdened hourly rates that include all labor, direct/indirect overhead margins/profits, and travel within the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area (TBMSA). Travel outside of the TBMCSA will be reimbursed in accordance with Florida Statutes.
Pinellas County will upgrade the City of Pinellas Park’s sanitary sewer lift station #31 and replace the City’s existing 20-inch force main by approximately 1.10 miles of pipe from 102nd Avenue North to 84th Avenue North, with a new 24-inch force main. In addition, a new sewer flow meter will be installed on the new 24-inch force main parallel to the existing interceptor flow meter.
The project protects, preserves, or replaces the County's and City’s existing old and outdated infrastructure that has passed the end of its useful life. This proposed project upgrades will avoid potential emergency pipe breaks, sewer service interruptions, sewer mixing, contamination of water bodies, road depression and traffic impacts.
