Summary:
Summary
The JPA with St. Pete Beach and South Pasadena allows the municipalities to reimburse their share of the cost accumulated by the County for the replacement design and construction of the failing 20-inch reclaimed water transmission main hanging on the southbound Corey Causeway Bridge in South Pasadena. Two (2) sections of the pipe failed over a 2-year period and dropped below the lowest member of the bridge. This created a dangerous condition for boaters traveling under the bridge. The replacement pipe was installed using the Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) equipment and technology under the Intercoastal Waterway. Work included removal and disposal of the deficient pipe and fittings, design and installation of a subaqueous reclaimed water transmission main, easements, permits, survey, engineering, and Public Works Construction Inspection efforts chargeable to this project
Body
Background Information:
The County, St. Pete Beach and South Pasadena previously entered into a Reclaimed Water Services Agreement on September 24, 1991, and a subsequent Amendment was executed on April 16, 1993.
The County owns and operates the 20-inch reclaimed water transmission main that had fallen into disrepair requiring emergency inspection, repair, and ultimate relocation along the Corey Causeway Bridge, in the general vicinity of Sun Island Drive South of Sailboat Key Boulevard South, in the City of South Pasadena.
The second section of the failing 20-inch reclaimed water transmission main hanging on the bridge was discovered June 24, 2019. The pipe repair project was in the rebid process. The first bid process received one bid with a cost over forty percent of the engineering cost estimate. The County decided to make the project an emergency project and not rebid the project.
The County used Kimley-Horn through an existing General Engineering Services contract to design and permit the replacement of the falling 20-inch reclaimed water transmission main hanging on the Corey Causeway Bridge with a Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) installation under the Intercoastal Waterway. The County used the Annual Water and Reclaimed Water contractor under contract to install the replacement pipe by HDD.
